Summary

I am a highly motivated and professional individual with many years of experience providing high-level administration support.

As a mum of two young boys, I am looking to return to the workforce in a part-time capacity to ensure a healthy work-life balance for myself and my family. By hiring me, you're choosing a reliable, friendly and fun person to join your team who is always eager to help & to learn.
