What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that values teamwork and offers growth opportunities.

I am a dedicated and hardworking administrative professional with extensive experience in various roles across different industries. My journey began with a solid educational foundation in Cost-and-Management Accounting, which equipped me with the skills necessary to excel in administrative tasks, credit and debt management, and customer service. I have a proven track record of effectively managing confidential information and maintaining accurate records, which has been crucial in my roles at Elspe Minerals and Ekundi Farming & Transport.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated my ability to adapt to changing environments and take on new challenges, such as temporarily acting as a Mining Supervisor. My strong organizational skills and attention to detail have allowed me to thrive in fast-paced settings, where I prioritize tasks efficiently and ensure smooth operations. I am passionate about providing excellent customer service and enjoy interacting with the public, which has been a consistent aspect of my professional ethos.
