Pretoria, Gauteng, South Africa
I am a motivated and detail-oriented professional with experience across office administration, bookkeeping, customer service, and field research. I’ve worked in both retail and government environments where I developed strong interpersonal, problem-solving, and time management skills. As an aspiring economist with a strong interest in economic policy, data analysis, and sustainable development. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Politics, Philosophy, and Economics, where I developed analytical thinking, quantitative reasoning, and a solid understanding of macro- and microeconomic principles. I bring not only administrative expertise but also critical thinking and an understanding of systems, governance, and communication. I’m passionate about using economics to understand complex social challenges and drive positive change. My academic background is complemented by hands-on experience in data capturing and public service through my role at Statistics South Africa, where I engaged with communities and contributed to national data collection efforts.

I’m currently seeking new opportunities in administration, finance, data entry, or customer service, where I can contribute my organizational skills and learn in a growth-focused environment.
