Welcome to the team Tanya!
It’s not every day you meet someone who is at home with the (somewhat mystical) art of communication as they are with structured data entry but here she is. We’re calling her a business support specialist because whatever support a business needs – she’s got the savvy (and the will) to deliver it…
When we put out an ad for an admin wizard (wizardress) we got a huge range of responses, including from Tanya Ribbens – now our newest member of The Business Hive crew.
Tanya is our kind of people; a get-on-with-it doer who is smart and resourceful. She has a Bachelor of Communication Science and a Master of Science in Strategic Communication (wow) but for us, it’s her capability and attitude that count.
Like most small businesses, we all do all the tasks around here. Tanya’s built the same way. She has experience across a whole range of roles, from export documentation assistant to managing children’s school holiday programmes, from team leader roles to festival logistics.
Along the way she has designed systems and processes, developed a management manual, prepared a public tender, written press releases as well as done more traditional admin such as data entry, diary and event management, document preparation and spreadsheeting.
