- Organisational Skills: Unmatched attention to detail and a natural ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment.
- Problem-Solving: A resourceful and resilient approach to navigating complex and time-sensitive situations.
- Technical Proficiency: Advanced knowledge of the Google Suites and strong capability with Google calendar management and project management tools.
