What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a remote role where I can use my organisational skills, attention to detail, and creativity to support teams and drive results. Fully equipped for remote work, I’m eager to grow, take on diverse responsibilities, and contribute to both efficiency and strategy while expanding my skills within a company.

Dedicated and adaptable, I bring a balance of organisation, problem-solving, and creativity to every role. My background in administration, client support, and social media strategy has equipped me to manage systems, streamline processes, and contribute to business growth with reliability and precision.

As a mother of two, I’ve sharpened patience, resourcefulness, and the ability to juggle multiple priorities with focus — qualities that now complement my professional expertise. Fully equipped with a reliable remote setup and uninterrupted power backup, I am prepared to commit my time and energy to a role where I can both contribute and grow.

I thrive in environments that value collaboration, flexibility, and continuous learning, and I view every challenge as an opportunity to expand my skillset. My goal is to support a company’s success while growing within the team and taking on greater responsibilities over time.

Outside of work, I enjoy exploring the outdoors with my children and expressing my creativity through storytelling and content creation on my personal social media pages.
