I am a highly efficient and detail-oriented Office Administrator with experience in payroll processing, workflow optimization, and administrative support. In my current role at Abrasive Blasting, I oversee key administrative functions, ensuring the office operates smoothly and efficiently. I am responsible for processing payroll for 32 employees, ensuring 100% accuracy and timely payments. This requires strong attention to detail, proficiency in financial systems, and the ability to manage employee records effectively. My ability to streamline payroll operations has not only ensured compliance but has also contributed to employee satisfaction and retention.

Beyond payroll, I have significantly improved office workflow, increasing efficiency by 30%. I achieved this by implementing better documentation processes, optimizing resource allocation, and enhancing internal communication. My proactive approach to problem-solving and process improvement ensures that tasks are completed in a timely and organized manner, reducing operational bottlenecks.

A crucial aspect of my role is assisting the Director with daily operations, which includes managing schedules, handling correspondence, and ensuring that all administrative tasks are executed efficiently. My ability to multitask and prioritize has allowed the Director to focus on high-level decision-making, ultimately improving productivity. I am highly adaptable and can handle multiple responsibilities simultaneously, whether it is coordinating meetings, handling client inquiries, or managing office supplies and budgets.

Previously, as a Field Supervisor for the 2022 Population and Housing Census Project at the District Commissioner’s Office, Boteti Sub-Council, I managed a team of six workers, ensuring that census enumeration was conducted efficiently. Under my supervision, we completed 100% of data collection within 18 days, meeting required standards. My role involved compiling and submitting daily reports, ensuring data accuracy, and managing field logistics. This experience honed my leadership skills and ability to work under pressure while maintaining high levels of accuracy.

Additionally, during my Accounts Department Internship at the Ministry of Health, I gained valuable experience in financial transactions, compliance, and reporting. I assisted 10–15 walk-in clients daily, processed payments exceeding P100,000, and managed employee deductions and recoveries. This experience strengthened my ability to handle financial operations with precision and integrity.

My key skills include payroll management, financial transactions, workflow optimization, customer service, compliance, reporting, and administrative coordination. I am proficient in Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint) and possess strong analytical, problem-solving, and organizational skills. My ability to work independently and collaboratively makes me an asset to any organization, ensuring operational efficiency and continuous improvements.
