What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to utilize my organizational skills and creativity in a supportive environment.

I am a dedicated professional with a National Diploma in Somatology from Durban University of Technology. My career began as a Beauty Therapist and Manageress at Clinique Technique, where I honed my skills in client management, retail, and beauty treatments. My passion for the beauty industry led me to excel in various roles, including administration and practice management.

In my most recent position as a Medical Receptionist and Practice Manager, I successfully managed medical aid claims, patient billing, and reception duties across multiple practices. My experience in overseeing operations has equipped me with strong organizational and multitasking abilities, ensuring smooth and efficient practice management.

Currently, I am the owner of Bee•Social, where I work as a Media Manager Consultant. I design websites, manage social media pages, and create engaging content for various clients. My goal is to leverage my skills in a dynamic environment where I can contribute to team success and continue to grow professionally.
