Lorraine

I have an Afrikaans background, but am perfectly bilingual having done the mostly English correspondence for many years. I am conversant with most Windows programs, certainly Word, Outlook, etc., but also some more specific accounting software.
I am correct, absolutely trustworthy and responsible, showing a good deal of judgement and emotional intelligence. At the same time, I know how to draw boundaries and if there is one criticism, I am not without my tempers, which brings me to my most remarkable quality – I am a people’s person, in other words,I relate very well to people and people relate to me, always professional, but with an enormous empathy for others. For many years, I was the soul of the department, so to speak, and generations of students and also staff going through my office can testify to that.
