Lynda Gough

 I reside in Kraaifontein Cape Town.

I am presentable and well-spoken, a dynamic communicator, client-focused, a people person, that likes to encourage positivity. I am a great team player and able to work independently.

I started working at the age of 16 years old and through the years, ventured into different avenues and positions of the business sector, through this I gained more knowledge and experience.

Having an enquiring mind and the ability to think out of the box, I am open to learning more.

I am capable at creating, planning, overseeing, and managing day to day activities and tasks.

The latter, combined with my persona and the broad industry experience, I believe that I will add value to any company that may be looking for an individual such as myself

I have a valid driver’s license.

I am available to start immediately.
