    I am an efficient and goal-orientated worker. I don’t ever do things "half-baked", it is simply not in my nature. I like to be proud of the work I produce as well as challenge and grow my skills and experience. I consider my diverse work experience and skill-set as an advantage because I don’t only see opportunities, challenges or situations through the one lens. I see them through multiple lenses which ultimately means I have the ability to anticipate, prepare for, respond and adapt to multiple scenarios/situations or incidents and produce resourceful and successful outcomes.

    I am a versatile virtual assistant with a background in mechanical engineering looking to expand my scope/reach to fields outside my own, I am knowledgeable and well versed in a spectrum of topics. I find my brain trying to figure out how things work, which causes me to do a lot of research as my relentless obsessive thoughts only leave at the point of finding out the "why and how". I thrive in customer facing roles, but being pushed into a sales role within the materials industry has allowed me to explore traits which have laid latent in me, ultimately romanticizing the potential of pivoting in the future into a fully front of office role. I label myself 'resilient'; I NEVER GIVE UP and that is one of my strengths. Being an engineering professional has afforded me the opportunities to open myself to new challenges and broaden my expertise; acquired problem solving skills improve with each project completed thus, creating solid knowledge of both the theoretical and physical engineering practices merging in real-time and cementing the knowing that there are endless possibilities to one single problem and that information is the precursor that determines the probability of all the possible outcomes/ answers I am looking to exploring any and every industry; throw me in any deep end and I am positive I will impress you at the resurgence.

    I'm no Copycat... I’m a CopyRIGHTER! Yes, I meant to write "righter” ☺️ Bill Bernbach once said: "An idea can turn to dust or magic, depending on the talent that rubs against it" And I'm hoping you'll see I DO have the talent! After graduating from the AAA School of Advertising in 2012, I began working at Ogilvy Go where I created copy for radio, live reads, TV, print, flyers, voucher letters, and more. I was also editor of ‘Home & Design’ which is distributed in South Africa, Botswana, Namibia and Zimbabwe. I wrote a large portion of the articles, and interviewed numerous people, including Alfred ‘Shorty’ Ntombela (the short guy in the Leon Schuster movies), and Miss Deaf South Africa. I also proofread articles written by others to ensure they were factually and grammatically correct. In 2015 I entered the online casino industry where my duties include updating CMS for my 5 casino websites daily, as well as writing mailers, game and casino reviews, press releases, SMSes, PushCrew, and so forth. I’m looking for an opportunity to take my creativity even further and write mind-blowing copy that will place your product, brand or service top-of-mind for the consumers out there. You + me = we’ve got it going on, so let’s get going! 😉
