What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values efficiency and offers opportunities for growth in a supportive environment.

As an experienced Administrative Professional with over 5 years in the public sector, I am currently pursuing opportunities as a Virtual Assistant or Remote Administrative Coordinator. My journey has equipped me with a robust skill set in project management, data entry, calendar management, customer support, and document handling. I am dedicated to enhancing my remote administrative skills through a Virtual Assistant course with ALX Africa, ensuring I stay at the forefront of industry standards.

In my current role as a Personal Assistant to the CFO at Msunduzi Municipality, I provide reliable administrative and clerical support, contributing to the efficient daily operations of the management team. My responsibilities include planning and hosting meetings, capturing and organizing data, and compiling detailed monthly reports to support informed decision-making. I pride myself on being dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to delivering efficient remote support.

Throughout my career, I have gained valuable experience in various administrative roles, including as an Intern Administrative Assistant at the Department of Education and as an Intern Data Capturer at the Department of Forestry, Fisheries & the Environment. These experiences have honed my ability to manage schedules, coordinate meetings, and maintain organized filing systems, all while ensuring confidentiality and efficiency in both virtual and on-site settings.
