Amanda Lamprecht

I have experience in administration, functions co-ordination and supervising management skills. I have knowledge of facilities management, co-ordination, and logistics. I am energetic and hard-working, and I take a hands-on approach when completing tasks and projects.

I am a very approachable and friendly person, with great interpersonal skills. I consider myself a perfectionist, though I manage this part of my personality as I know this can be a hinderance in some circumstances. I love working with people and being creative when planning events and functions.

I consider myself grounded, and I am always willing to go the extra mile to help anyone in need.
