Detail-oriented professional seeking opportunities in generative AI and language work.
What I'm looking for
As an adaptable and detail-oriented professional, I have cultivated a diverse background in technical, administrative, and document management roles. My journey began with an apprenticeship at Radcon Engineering, where I trained and operated CNC routers, lathes, vertical borers, and gear cutters. This experience honed my precision and problem-solving abilities, providing me with a solid foundation in technical workflows.
Transitioning into office administration, I served as a Clerk at the Graaff-Reinet Sheriff’s Office, managing document filing, retrieval, and delivery. This role further developed my organizational and task management skills. Most recently, I worked as a Document Scanning Technician at Van Wyk Theron Accountants, focusing on the digitization of accounting records and the secure handling of client documents. This position reinforced my ability to work independently and maintain a high level of accuracy, essential for remote and digital work.
Now, I am eager to explore remote and freelance opportunities, particularly in generative AI training and language-related work. With a strong command of both English and Afrikaans, an eye for linguistic detail, and a passion for emerging technologies, I am ready to contribute to projects that value clarity, innovation, and consistent delivery.
