KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I am a dedicated administrative professional and Information Technology specialist with four years of hands-on experience in office management, administrative support, and task coordination. I prioritize accuracy, efficiency, and clear communication when supporting teams and stakeholders.
I have managed schedules and attendance for large populations, prepared timely and accurate reports, and organized filing systems across multiple departments to improve accessibility and workflow. My work has consistently improved record retrieval and reduced scheduling conflicts.
My experience spans school administration, municipal school secretarial duties, SACCO secretarial internship work, cashiering, and IT support — giving me a practical blend of clerical, customer-facing, and technical skills. I am comfortable drafting correspondence, coordinating meetings, and supporting teachers and staff with clerical tasks.
I bring a proactive, adaptable approach and a proven track record of meeting deadlines with high accuracy. I seek to contribute organized office practices and practical IT coordination to a team-focused environment that values reliability and continuous improvement.
