What I'm looking for

I am seeking a customer-focused administrative or account role where I can apply strong documentation, CRM and invoicing skills within a collaborative, process-driven team.

I am an experienced customer service and administration professional with a strong background in client-facing roles, account management, and documentation. I consistently apply meticulous attention to detail and strong communication skills in fast-paced environments.

My recent roles include work in annuities new business at Aviva, plot-sale administration for a legal firm, and gas metering administration for a utilities provider. I routinely handle customer queries, draft legal documents, manage invoicing, and use CRM and Microsoft Office tools.

I bring proven experience with document and email management, proofreading, financial administration (including Sage and QuickBooks familiarity), and data handling. I have supported sales and design teams and created sales leads while managing client accounts.

I am studying a BSc (Hons) in Forensic and Criminal Investigation part-time and hold qualifications in copywriting and design for publishing. I seek to contribute reliability, strong prioritisation, and process-oriented support to a collaborative team.
