What I'm looking for

I'm open to remote, hybrid, and on-site opportunities, and willing to relocate if required. I'm comfortable working remotely or on-site and using digital tools to stay organized and collaborate.

I manage accommodation listings on Airbnb and Booking.com, handling reservations, guest communication, check-ins, and property maintenance.

From 2015 to 2024, I owned and managed Cuddle Cuts Pty Ltd, a kids' salon. I oversaw its operations, including staffing, inventory, procurement, and supplier relationships.

At Afrox Newcastle, I directed the branch's Supply Chain and Operations departments and ensured compliance with SHEQ standards. Earlier Afrox roles included supply chain supervision and inventory control.

My background also includes accounting and logistics training, along with experience using Pastel Accounting, SAP, and tools such as Asana and Trello.
