Resourceful administrative professional who builds efficient systems and strengthens teams.
What I'm looking for
I am a resourceful, people-focused administrator with a sharp eye for detail and a calm command of operations. I bring structure, service, and strategy to academic and community settings, having supported university departments and grassroots projects across South Africa and Ghana.
In my current role as an Academic Administrator I coordinate academic events and meetings, maintain student records, draft departmental correspondence, and support health and wellness initiatives such as breast cancer awareness and HIV testing campaigns. Previously, I managed front-desk and data operations for large child welfare programmes and supported multiple community projects focused on child protection, nutrition, trauma support, and anti-GBV interventions.
I excel at scheduling, records and database management, stakeholder engagement, and confidential data handling, and I am proficient with Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, Zoom and other digital communication tools. I am pursuing a BBA (Hons) in Human Resource Management and seek roles where I can apply operational rigor, compassionate community experience, and strong administrative skills to improve processes and support teams.
