Office Administrator/Librarian
Mbombela

Summary

I am a dedicated and organised professional with a BA in Library and Information Studies and over five years of hands-on experience in administrative roles across both public libraries and the private sector. I have a strong foundation in office support, having worked closely with directors and senior teams to manage diaries, coordinate meetings and workshops, handle correspondence, and maintain well-structured filing systems.


My time in both the public and private sectors has sharpened my communication skills, strengthened my ability to multitask under pressure, and deepened my appreciation for well-run, people-centred office environments. I am confident using Microsoft Office tools like Excel and PowerPoint, and I take pride in being reliable, approachable, and proactive in getting things done smoothly and professionally.
