2. I recently relocated from Hermanus to Johannesburg to be closer to my daughter, son-in-law
and grandson. I’m already loving being back in Joburg and feeling the energy of living in a city. I
believe I have a lot to contribute to an organization given my many years of bookkeeping and
office management experience. I believe my can-do-attitude, balanced approach to challenges
and ‘user-friendliness’ will add to any organization.
