South AfricaWhat I'm looking for
I am an experienced Legal Secretary with a strong background in administrative support and contract management. I have a paralegal diploma from the South African School of Para-Legal and a certificate in Contract Management from the University of Pretoria. Throughout my career, I have provided general secretarial functions, managed diaries, prepared legal documents, and coordinated travel arrangements. I am proficient in Microsoft programs such as Excel, PowerPoint, Word, Project, and SAP.
In addition to my legal expertise, I am also dedicated to making a positive impact in my community. I have volunteered at the LRC Church, where I assisted with administrative tasks and event organizing. Inspired by the church's feeding scheme, I registered an NPO called Good Hope Ikhaya Lethu, which provides meals to school-going children in Alexandra Township. I am passionate about helping others and making a difference in their lives.
