SKILLS & ATTRIBUTES

I am an experienced Senior Travel

Consultant, with a passion for people and

travel. I insist on delivering the highest

level of customer service and if possible, I

go the extra mile for my clients.

I am a people’s person. I am also honest,

reliable and trustworthy, work well under

pressure and can work on my own, as well

as in a team.

I enjoy doing graphic design, as I have an

eye for detail and like being creative. I am

also very efficient and don’t shy away

from getting out of my comfort zone and

stepping up to a challenge when needed.

I am also the mom of three beautiful kids,

who reside in Gauteng. In between jobs

and caring for my family, I have done

many temp assignments throughout the

years, sometimes just to gain the

experience. I even tried my hand at being

a pump attendant at service station!

As I am very good with admin and really

enjoy it, my ideal work would be admin-

related. Not necessarily in the travel

industry either. I am willing to learn and

open to new challenges.
