I am a driven individual, prepared to go the extra mile to achieve success. My goal is to swiftly adapt to various workplace environments, considering the demands placed on me both individually and collaboratively. I am also willing to gain experience and exposure to the work environment.

In my role as an Administrative Assistant at the University of Johannesburg, I have honed my communication skills by liaising with students and parents, assisting with inquiries, and ensuring the accurate distribution of certificates. My experience has equipped me with strong time management and multi-tasking abilities, allowing me to thrive in fast-paced settings.

With a solid educational background, including a BA in Public Management and Governance and a PGDip in Business Administration, I am committed to continuous learning and professional growth. I look forward to leveraging my skills and experiences in a dynamic organization.
