Summary
Raised with a strong work ethic and determination to overcome obstacles, I have internalized the values of hard work and perseverance. Despite financial limitations that prevented pursuit of higher education, I firmly believe in my ability to achieve anything I set my mind to. After completing my National Senior Certificate (Grade 12), I embarked on a corporate career with clear goals. Through unwavering dedication, I have achieved numerous milestones. However, the unfortunate passing of the director and limited job market in South Africa forced reassessment of my career path. During this period of self-reflection, I discovered bookkeeping and recognized the significant impact of well-organized financial records on businesses. Delving deeper into the subject and gaining a solid understanding of its fundamentals, the Covid lockdown presented unique opportunities for growth in the field of bookkeeping as well as my passions progressing to additional income. With the promising prospects offered by the job market in New Zealand, I am eager to return to my passion and explore the job market for more creative opportunities that align with my interests.
