What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role where I can combine administration and bookkeeping responsibilities, contribute to operational efficiency, and grow in finance or office management.

I am an office management and administration professional with three years of experience delivering dependable administrative support and improving operational efficiency across non-profit and corporate environments.

I have hands-on bookkeeping experience using Sage Accounting, Sage Pastel and QuickBooks, including bank reconciliations, supplier payments, journal entries, and preparation of supporting schedules for financial reporting.

My background includes research and media-analysis roles where I designed surveys and interview guides, drafted reports and proposals, and presented findings to stakeholders, demonstrating strong communication and analytical skills.

I work effectively with cross-functional teams, provide executive-level support (calendar management, minute-taking, scheduling) and prioritize accuracy and service quality to help organizations run smoothly.
