Front Desk Receptionist | Office Administration

Summary

I've been working in my field for over ten years now as a freelance admin assistant, and even though I enjoy my job, the time has come to broaden my horizons.

Professionally, I'm a dedicated and hardworking person who always strives to add value and make sure that every project I take on is a success. I'm also great at working independently or as part of a team. On a personal note, I'm a proud mom to a son who lives with his dad in Namibia. I'm a huge animal lover, especially when it comes to horses, and I have a cute little Yorkie who is my constant companion.

I'm always eager to learn new things and broaden my horizons. I also love expressing my creativity through oil painting, pencil sketching, and designing with Adobe Photoshop.

As a highly adaptable and tech-savvy person, I'm always up for a challenge. I'm a problem-solver at heart, and I'm always looking for new ways to grow and improve my skills.

So if you need someone who is friendly, creative, and dedicated to making your project a success, look no further!
