What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can grow and succeed, applying my project/office administration strengths alongside conservation experience in a dynamic, fast-paced environment—so I can deliver accurate reporting, support teams, and contribute to responsible outcomes.

I’m a Project/Office Administrator with a strong Nature Conservation foundation, and I focus on turning field activity into accurate records, reporting, and smooth day-to-day operations. Right now, I support SANParks work in the Punda Maria liaison area by capturing field data and maintaining disciplined admin processes.

In my current role, I handle timesheets, leaves and overtimes on a payment schedule, capture data on a data collection tool, and manage general administration such as filing, logbooks, order books, requisitions, invoices, payment requests, checklists and reports. I also upload documents on SharePoint, assist with tendering, and support project administration as requested by the project manager.

I bring additional strengths in project and people support—assisting with access control activities, staff overtime and assets, and supporting HR with selection, contract development, capturing CVs, and maintaining the database. I’m also experienced in taking minutes and acting as a scribe for disciplinary hearings, and I support S&T claims and audits.

Earlier, during my internship with LEDET at Doorndraal Dam Nature Reserve, I gained hands-on conservation experience through patrols, implementation of conservation, tour guiding and interpretation, alien plant removal, environmental education and community outreach. I also contributed to firebreaks and burning, law enforcement, reserve management, and wildlife management tasks such as game counts and culling—alongside administrative duties like data capturing and reporting.
