Summary

I am a conscientious and well mannered individual, I can work on my own or as part of a team. I am punctual and reliable. Although I started my career with secretarial work, in later years I moved into accounts working for a family business. I was supervisor over 3 office administrators. Being a small business, I also helped with creating marketing databases and flyers.
