What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a Chartered Secretary career where I can use my executive administration, business knowledge, legal studies, and compliance training to strengthen organizational governance and corporate success.

I'm currently supporting the Chief Executive Officer at the National Energy Regulator of South Africa, managing complex confidential administration, the CEO diary, correspondence, meetings, reports, presentations, and office workflow.

Before NERSA, I spent more than a decade at the South African Revenue Service and Newcastle Municipality, coordinating executive schedules, travel, events, procurement, records, stakeholder meetings, and departmental administration. I've prepared minutes, memorandums, agendas, audit evidence, budgets, and professional executive documents.

My background combines 20 years of administrative service with a National Diploma in Human Resources and a Bachelor of Business Administration in Project Management.

I'm working toward an LLB and building on my compliance and risk-management training as I pursue a career as a Chartered Secretary, supporting sound organizational governance and corporate success.
