What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can deliver operational excellence—accurate financial processing, reconciliations, and reliable administrative support—especially within healthcare or finance operations. I want a team that values confidentiality, compliance, and continuous improvement.

I’m a results-oriented Administrative and Accounting Professional with over 15 years of progressive experience across finance, healthcare administration, office management, records management, customer service, and business operations. I’m recognized as Best Accounts Clerk (2023/2024) and Best Administrative Assistant (2024/2025) at Illovo Sugar Malawi, and I’m currently pursuing a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) as a third-year student.

In my current Fixed-Term role as Administrative Assistant (Healthcare Department) at Illovo Sugar Malawi Limited, I manage day-to-day office operations, coordinate schedules and departmental calendars, maintain accurate filing systems, and support financial reporting and cost-control initiatives. I process medical scheme invoices, monitor payments, manage cash collections with timely banking, and handle clinic inventory and stock movements—while ensuring compliance with organizational policies and delivering high-quality service to patients and stakeholders. Previously, I served as an Accounts Clerk in the Healthcare Department, a Management Accounts Clerk in Finance, and a Weighbridge Clerk, strengthening my expertise in invoice processing, reconciliations, journal entries, audit support, and Excel-based financial tracking.
