What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can apply financial analysis and administration to turn data into decisions, support budgeting and reporting, and contribute to business growth—backed by clear goals, mentorship, and continuous improvement.

I’m an analytical Business Administration (Finance) graduate with hands-on experience in financial administration, bookkeeping, and operational coordination. I translate data into actionable insights and build strategies that help organizations improve performance and drive continuous growth.

As Founder & Business Development Lead / Creative Director at Yaka Creatives (2025–Present), I develop and execute branding strategies, lead client acquisition, and manage end-to-end creative projects. I coordinate project timelines, budgets, and deliverables across multiple client engagements while maintaining long-term client relationships built on trust and consistent delivery.

Earlier, I supported the Sports Department as a Finance & Administration Intern, handling bookkeeping and preparing departmental financial and operational reports for review by the Sports Director. I also conducted undergraduate research on e-commerce adoption’s impact on market access, financial performance, and consumer perceptions among Malawian SMEs.
