What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to grow my skills in data management and environmental research while contributing to meaningful projects.

I am a dedicated project assistant with a strong commitment to enhancing my skills and contributing to impactful projects. My experience at LEC Environmental Consultants has equipped me with a solid foundation in database management, data preparation, and report generation. I take pride in ensuring data integrity and accuracy, which I believe are crucial for effective decision-making.

In my role, I have successfully collaborated with various stakeholders, including the Eswatini Meteorological Service, to acquire essential climate and hydrological data. My ability to adapt to new challenges and my enthusiasm for learning have allowed me to thrive in diverse environments. I am also skilled in IT and web design, having developed user interfaces that facilitate real-time data visualization for water resource management.
