Accounting
I completed my Bachelor of Commerce in accounting in 2001. Since then, I have worked for various small companies in a bookkeeper role, always preferring to perform the full function up to management accounts rather than focusing on one aspect of bookkeeping.
In 2012 my husband and I left the city to find work in a big 5 game reserve. I became a lodge manager and learnt all about hospitality and running a lodge. My ability to multi-task and manage my time without supervision became especially important as I had to balance working with guests, handling reservations and marketing as well as keeping the bookkeeping up to date.
In between I have also been a dance instructor a few evenings a week, marketing and reservationist for the lodge, operations director for the lodge, and even a micro greens and edible flowers farmer.
