What I'm looking for

I seek an administrative or research role where I can apply minute-taking, records management and SPSS skills within a collaborative, professional team that values confidentiality, learning and clear career growth.

I hold a Bachelor of Social Science Honours in Population Studies and bring focused administrative experience from the public sector. I specialize in executive support, calendar management, and confidential correspondence handling.

As a Research and Administrative Assistant Intern at the South African Police Service, I performed minute taking, file management, telephone screening, meeting logistics, and memo drafting while supporting research teams with data transcription and SPSS-based data tasks.

I am proficient in MS Word, Excel and PowerPoint, and I work reliably under pressure with strong listening, analytical and teamwork skills. I am eager to contribute organized, confidential administrative support and grow within a collaborative team.
