Leona Martin

With over 24 years of extensive administrative experience and a solid year in finance, I am a highly committed and versatile professional ready to excel as a virtual assistant. My career journey showcases a remarkable blend of skills, from meticulous attention to detail and strong organizational abilities to creative innovation in brand and graphic design. My proficiency spans a wide array of essential tools, including Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Outlook), Google Suite, Canva, Sigma/Retail Office, and Survey Systems. I am fully bilingual in Afrikaans and English, further enhancing my capacity to serve a diverse clientele. Throughout my employment history, I have consistently demonstrated a proactive and independent work ethic. As a Director at Simplified VA, I delivered crucial virtual assistant services such as ad-hoc administration, spreadsheet management, word processing, brand/graphic design, data entry, and transcription. My current role as Operations and Finance Clerk at SVA Holdings highlights my expertise in creditors and debtors management, reconciliations, age analysis, financial reporting, and quotation handling. Earlier roles as Service Centre Manager/Administrator at Paul’s Gates and Office Administrator/Cashier Supervisor at Saveway SuperSpar underscore my capabilities in sales, customer service, team leadership, stock control, and comprehensive general administration. My freelance work with BC Research further solidifies my skills in data capturing and customer interviews. Beyond my impressive technical and administrative prowess, I possess a strong personality, a positive outlook, and an eagerness to continuously learn and acquire new skills, including my goal to study C1 Business English. My diverse skill set, coupled with my dedication and independent nature, makes me an ideal candidate for any company seeking a reliable and highly capable virtual assistant. I am not just looking for a side hustle; I am building a legacy for my daughters, driven by loyalty, honesty, and integrity.
