What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to utilize my organizational skills and support a dynamic team in an administrative capacity.

My name is Kirsten Klingenberg, and I am a dedicated professional with a background in physiotherapy, currently seeking to transition into the admin or data entry field. I graduated with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy from the University of Pretoria and have gained valuable experience working as a Community Service Physiotherapist with the Eastern Cape Department of Health. This role has honed my skills in time management, communication, and planning, which I am eager to apply in a new career path.

Throughout my academic journey, I have consistently achieved high marks, earning recognition as a Top 10 Achiever in my high school. My commitment to excellence is reflected in my academic results, where I excelled in subjects such as Engineering Graphics and Design and Physical Sciences. I have also taken on leadership roles, serving as a Prefect and Treasurer of the Interact Club, which has further developed my organizational and teamwork skills.
