What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging role that leverages my administrative and financial expertise while offering opportunities for professional growth.

With over two decades of experience in office management and administration, I have honed my skills in financial oversight, human resources management, and organizational efficiency. My journey began as an administrative assistant, where I developed a keen understanding of the intricacies involved in managing office operations and supporting senior management.

In my most recent role as Office Manager at Terra Nuova East Africa, I was responsible for a wide range of financial and administrative tasks, including preparing bank reconciliations, managing procurement processes, and ensuring compliance with local regulations. My proactive approach and strong analytical skills have enabled me to contribute significantly to the organization's objectives, ensuring that all operations run smoothly and efficiently.
