What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an administrative or virtual assistant role where I can manage records, emails, calendars, and scheduling, support customers and staff, and help daily operations run smoothly with strong organization and communication.

I am a reliable Administrative Clerk and Virtual Assistant with experience in administration, record keeping, customer service, scheduling, and office support. I maintain accurate records, assist staff, handle enquiries, and support daily operations with a calm, dependable approach.

In my role at Vuba Primary School (January 2023 – December 2025), I maintained learner and administrative records, managed filing systems, and completed data entry tasks. I responded to enquiries from parents and visitors, supported scheduling and coordination, and prepared reports while keeping documentation accurate.

Previously, as an Internet Cafe Assistant (January 2014 – December 2021), I supported customers with computer usage and internet services, managed printing/scanning/photocopying, and assisted with email creation, online applications, and document submissions. I also handled cash transactions and maintained daily payment records.

Earlier volunteering as a Junior Clerk / Councillor Assistant (January 2006 – December 2010), I helped with community office operations—capturing and updating data, handling telephone calls and office communication, scheduling meetings and events, and ensuring proper filing and document management procedures were followed. I’m motivated by organized, people-focused work where I can work independently and deliver consistently.
