What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a remote role in business support, operations, administration, customer success, coordination, digital marketing, or social media where I can manage priorities independently and support efficient day-to-day delivery.

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.
