What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values strong communication and organizational skills, with opportunities for professional growth and community engagement.

I am a detail-oriented and reliable remote professional with a strong background in administrative support and customer service. My experience as an Academic Assistant at Nelson Mandela University has honed my organizational skills, where I coordinated student activities and prepared meeting materials. I pride myself on my attention to detail, which I demonstrated through accurate data processing and document proofreading, ensuring that all student records were meticulously managed.

In addition to my academic experience, I have actively engaged in community service as a volunteer at Protea Children’s Home, where I provided homework assistance and led recreational activities. My role as an Academic Transformation Officer in the Black Management Forum has further developed my leadership skills, allowing me to promote equitable engagement among diverse student groups. I am committed to continuous learning and professional development, always striving to stay updated on best practices in my field.
