Karley (Karen) De Nobrega 10, 3rd Crescent, Vredelust, Bellville,Western Cape, SA  - SA - PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY I am a reliable and energetic mature individual with considerable experience in administration and personal assistance, together with some marketing assistance. My forte is multi-tasking, learning new processes/software and adapting well to any role. I am excited to be able to explore my creativity by adding digital marketing to my portfolio. I’m a firm believer in pursuing your passion and encourage others to persevere until they have fulfilled their dreams. I am confident that my extensive development and experience will benefit my professional future. PROFESSIONAL HIGHLIGHTS 2018/2019: Sukema (Pty) Ltd: I took over the role from a previous colleague of maintaining websites for 3 non-profit organisations. This was my first real exposure into the website world and it meant I had to learn Joomla through an online tutorial. One of the non-profit organisations requested a new look to their outdated website and were highly complimentary once it was completed. 2006: Forsdicks Tygervalley: I orchestrated the first Quality Management Program (QMA) for a SA BMW dealership, where we scored almost full marks on the independent audit held for the first time in SA.
