Introduction

I am a very keen well organized worker, who can work alongside a variety of people from all walks of life. I work well in both team and independent environments. I take pride in my work and appearance. I am quality orientated and pay close attention to detail. I am able to adapt readily to new tasks and challenges. I have developed good working relationships with people where I have gained valuable communication skills. I possess excellent planning and organization skills as well as problem solving techniques. I am able to prioritize effectively. Since 2019 I have been assisting clients with Ancestral Visas as a part time job. I did a few Courses in Genealogy and have been working closely with families in finding their Ancestors. As I work from home I have the required discipline in finishing any task as timely, effectively and accurately as possible. I believe to be an excellent fit in any position I am placed and have the ability to learn fast and add a 100% value to any company. I pride myself in my accomplishments and what I have to offer.
