What I'm looking for

I seek a remote position that allows flexibility to balance work and family.

With a diverse background in operations management and accounts payable, I have honed my skills in attention to detail, time management, and team building throughout my career. Currently, I work as an Accounts Payable Clerk at Toshiba Cape Town, where I am responsible for capturing invoices, processing payments, and reconciling accounts. My ability to learn new tasks quickly has allowed me to streamline supplier payments and respond effectively to vendor inquiries.

Prior to my current role, I served as Operations Manager at Toshiba Cape Town, where I managed the admin and service team. My experience spans various positions, including debtors clerk, service controller, sales liaison, and procurement officer, providing me with a comprehensive understanding of company operations. My journey also includes a professional football career, where I represented the South African National team and played in the Olympics. This unique blend of experiences has shaped my strong work ethic and commitment to excellence.
