Summary

I’m an organised, dependable, and people-focused professional with strong experience in sales, administration, and logistics. I’m a reliable, well-organised professional with strong experience in logistics, administration, and sales. I began my career at Northern Diver as the Head of the logistics department, where I coordinated international and domestic shipments, resolved delivery challenges, and ensured smooth operations. After proving myself in that role, I was transferred to the sales team, where I managed many of the company’s key accounts across the military and commercial sectors. My responsibilities included handling enquiries, processing orders, participating in government tenders, and maintaining strong client relationships. I’m confident working independently or as part of a team, and I take pride in clear communication, attention to detail, and getting things done properly. I’m now looking for a new opportunity where I can bring my skills, focus, and commitment to a team that values initiative, responsibility, and trust.
