What I'm looking for
I am a highly organized and detail-oriented administrative professional with over four years of experience providing exceptional support to senior-level teams and organizations.

Throughout my career, I have held various roles that have honed my administrative and managerial skills. From my internship at the Transmission Company of Nigeria to my recent position as a Front Desk Officer at Picasso Fine Dining Restaurant, I have consistently demonstrated my ability to manage tasks efficiently and effectively. My experience as a Shift Manager at Food Concepts PLC and as a Manager at Kowa Luxury Boutique has further solidified my leadership capabilities, allowing me to oversee operations and ensure customer satisfaction.
I am passionate about continuous learning and professional development, as evidenced by my various certifications, including a Diploma in Desktop Publishing and a Diploma in Healthcare Assistance. I am eager to bring my skills and experience to a dynamic organization where I can contribute to team success and further develop my career.
