About me

I am an energetic and ambitious individual who approaches every task and situation with maturity and responsibility. I am a strong team player with leadership abilities and excellent communication skills. I am self-motivated and excel at working collaboratively to achieve objectives on time and with excellence. I have the ability to handle difficult situations confidently and work effectively under stress and pressure. I am fully computer literate and always eager to learn new skills. I maintain a neat and presentable appearance and am highly organized with a strong sense of responsibility.

My expertise spans legal research and writing, team leadership, data capturing, administrative and executive support, reception duties, legal procedures and administration, office and operations management, sales and marketing, client relationship management, and customer service. I am committed to providing exceptional service and ensuring compliance with company policies and legal requirements.

Currently, I work as an Administrative Assistant at PSG Wealth, where I provide comprehensive support to financial advisors and management, maintain client records, coordinate appointments, draft wills, and assist with estate handling. I am proficient in various software systems including PSG MyBase and PSG MyPractice.

Previously, I have held roles such as Legal Intern at Hessequa Municipality, where I drafted legal opinions, managed municipal workflows, assisted with compliance reviews, and gained practical knowledge of local government legislation. I was also promoted from Sales Administrator to Sales Manager at Baclan Energy (Pty) Ltd t/a Ewaste Africa, leading a sales team, forecasting sales, managing customer relationships, and representing the company at industry events.

My earlier experience includes working as a Legal Secretary and Receptionist at Melt Kloppers and Eloff Incorporated Attorneys, and as a Teacher’s Assistant for the Western Cape Education Department. I am fluent in English and Afrikaans and hold a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) degree, a Bachelor of Commerce in Law, and certifications in Legal Office Administration and TEFL. I am available with a one-month notice period and am eager to contribute my skills and experience to a dynamic team.
