What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values teamwork and offers opportunities for professional growth.

With over two decades of diverse experience in office administration and management, I have honed my skills in various roles that require adaptability and effective communication. My educational background from Pitmans in Office Administration, Typing, and Accounts has provided me with a solid foundation to excel in my career. I am passionate about contributing to team success and have consistently delivered high-quality work in both professional and volunteer settings.

Currently, I serve as an Office Administrator at Darcy's Deliveries, where I manage schedules, maintain databases, and provide exceptional customer service. My previous roles as a Bookkeeper and English Teacher have further enriched my skill set, allowing me to develop a keen eye for detail and a strong ability to engage with diverse audiences. I thrive in environments that challenge me and offer opportunities for growth.
