@melissasteyn
I keep remote operations, payroll, administration, and client support running accurately across high-volume and international work.
What I'm looking for
I've supported payroll operations at Endulini Fruit, processing high-volume payroll for approximately 2,300–2,500 seasonal employees while maintaining accurate records, resolving discrepancies, and handling confidential information.
As an independent online professional, I deliver one-to-one lessons to international clients while independently managing scheduling, communication, preparation, follow-up, and digital content.
Previously, at DKP Motor Spares, I managed administration, processed orders, handled customer enquiries, coordinated with suppliers, and supported inventory and order tracking.
I'm completing a BCom through UNISA and bring practical experience in operations, payroll, customer communication, record management, digital tools, and remote work.
