What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values accuracy and offers opportunities for growth in administration or human resources.

I am a detail-oriented and versatile professional with a solid foundation in client relations and administration. Currently, I serve as a Client Relations Manager at the Gauteng Department of Economic Development, where I manage client relationships and provide comprehensive administrative support. My efforts have resulted in improved client satisfaction and streamlined processes, showcasing my commitment to excellence.

With a Bachelor of Arts Honours in Public Management and Governance from the University of Johannesburg, I possess a strong educational background that complements my professional experience. I have also worked as an Admissions Officer, where I ensured data integrity and compliance in student registrations. My proactive approach and strong work ethic drive me to seek continuous improvement in all tasks I undertake.
