Additional Information

Currently residing in South Africa, I am a strong customer focus woman (and Mother to a 1year old) that does not shy away from any hard work.

I will always go the extra mile and put in the extra time when needed.

I am fully bilingual in English and Afrikaans (reading, communicating and Writing ) This is another plus when dealing with Afrikaans Customers

We visited my father and step mother in Hawkes Bay, and fell in love with New Zealand.

My victors visa will expire in October 2025, but willing to start work while I transfer to a work visa, as i do know that can take some time.

I am available at any time for a teams/skype interview.

I would like to offer my child a better life, and believe we will be able to achieve this in New Zealand .

Thanks for the opportunity to submit my Resume
