I am a dedicated procurement specialist with over 14 years of experience in accounts payable and finance administration. My career has been marked by a commitment to excellence and a passion for continuous learning. I thrive in dynamic environments and enjoy tackling new challenges, which has allowed me to develop a robust skill set in managing vendor relationships and ensuring compliance with financial regulations.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed daily operations in various roles, including Catering Manager and Finance Administrator. My experience spans across reputable organizations such as Empact Group, Famous Brands Limited, and Exxaro Resources, where I have honed my abilities in invoice processing, financial reporting, and vendor management. I take pride in my strong attention to detail and my ability to communicate effectively at all levels, which has been instrumental in resolving supplier queries and maintaining accurate financial records.

As I continue to grow professionally, I am eager to leverage my extensive experience in procurement and finance to contribute to a forward-thinking organization that values innovation and teamwork. I am particularly interested in roles that allow me to further develop my skills while making a meaningful impact on the company's success.
