Summary
I'm a dedicated student seeking to learn from an experienced business administrator and gain practical experience to complement my studies.
I consider myself competent in the use of Microsoft Office and enjoy learning new systems and software needed to perform tasks. I take it upon myself to use my own initiative and to be adaptable when appling problem-solving skills to challenges I face and always aim to produce a high standard of work with focus on the detail.
