CURRICULUM VITAE – 2024

BACKGROUND

With a rich and diverse career spanning an impressive 17 years, I've navigated various roles and industries, which have all contributed to my professional development. My journey began as a Trainee Accountant and has led me to my current position as a Finance Manager, where I've also taken on significant HR responsibilities within the vibrant media sector.

In addition to my professional journey, I take immense pride in my role as a devoted wife and loving mother to wonderful daughters. These personal roles have taught me the values of patience, empathy, and strong time management skills, which I seamlessly incorporate into my professional life.

Outside of my professional commitments, I have a deep passion for farming. Tending to the land and nurturing crops and livestock have taught me valuable lessons in patience, sustainability, and the importance of hard work.

Simultaneously, I am dedicated to my ongoing professional development. I'm currently pursuing my CIMA qualifications, reflecting my commitment to enhancing my financial expertise and staying at the forefront of industry trends.

Throughout my career, I've consistently demonstrated adaptability, dedication, and unwavering loyalty to my roles and employers. These qualities have driven me to consistently exceed expectations, foster strong relationships, and contribute to organizational growth. In my four years in the media industry, I've honed my expertise and played an instrumental role in driving the sector's success. However, my extensive career history has ignited a strong desire to embrace new challenges. With 17 years of diverse experience, I'm poised to explore fresh opportunities in various industries. My versatile skill set, anchored in finance and HR, equips me to make a significant impact in a wide array of organizations. As my journey unfolds, I'm excited to embark on the uncharted paths and contribute to success in diverse sectors.
