What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values organization and creativity, offering opportunities for growth and collaboration.

With over 15 years of diverse experience in administration, safety coordination, and content writing, I have honed my skills in various sectors. My journey began in the administrative field, where I excelled in roles that required meticulous attention to detail and strong organizational abilities. I have a proven track record of managing office operations, conducting internal audits, and ensuring compliance with safety regulations.

In addition to my administrative expertise, I am a passionate content and blog writer with over 8 years of experience. I have successfully created engaging articles for various clients, showcasing my ability to adapt to different niches. My fluency in both English and Afrikaans allows me to connect with a broader audience, and my artistic skills in oil painting and sketching reflect my creative side. I am dedicated to delivering high-quality work and thrive in dynamic environments.
