Afrath Abdul Majeed
Darwin ,NT
Summary
I have lived in the Northern Territory since 2020, and I have established my career here after arriving at the age of 18. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting from Charles Darwin University and bring diverse experience across accounting and finance, tourism and hospitality, management, front office operations, and the not-for-profit sector. I have worked closely with Aboriginal people from communities across the Northern Territory, developing strong cultural awareness, respectful communication, and community-focused work practices. I am a quick learner who adapts easily to new systems and environments, with a strong work ethic, attention to detail, and a commitment to delivering accurate and reliable outcomes. I have strong local references, and a genuine long-term connection to the Northern Territory.
