I am an enthusiastic, self-motivated, reliable, responsible and hard-working person. I am a mature team worker and adaptable to all challenging situations. I am outgoing and an ambitious National Diploma graduate. I am academically skilled in personal selling, marketing research, integrated marketing communication, accounting for marketers, economics, applied statistics and end-user computing. The experience I got at Cathcart High School as an Educator Assistant and Learner Support Agent reinforced my administrative skills. I am able to work well under pressure and adhere to strict deadlines. I am willing to relocate anywhere and available to start immediately.
