I am a mature Kenyan lady. I speak, read and write both English and Kiswahili fluently and can handle any office independently. At present, I am self employed. Prior to that I worked for United Touring Company Ltd, Mombasa but has since closed down. I had held the post of an Operations Manager, for over four years. My duties involved receiving enquiries both locally and internationally, subsequently costing, sending out quotations and presentations to potential clients, hotel/lodge bookings and rate negotiations with both hoteliers and transporters, organizing of safaris, designing and preparing itineraries, co-ordinating driver guides, and supervision of subordinate staff. Prior to that, I served as the Personal Assistant to the Managing Director, of the same company and have also been employed in Secretarial positions in various top capacities. In my early years of employment, back in 1978, I worked for the German Shipping Line (Deutsche Ost Afrika Linie) as an Administrator cum Bookkeeper, which also served as the German Consulate, here in Mombasa, for seven years. I have gained experience in both administrative duties and general office management as well as handling of personnel matters. I am computer literate, and can work on various packages, namely Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Outlook Express. My vast years of experience has given me confidence to take up any challenging position. I have strong interpersonal skills and have the ability to build strong relationships.
