Linda Nako - Financial Administrator

Linda supports the organisation on volunteers’ shopping expense claims and their payments. She communicates with volunteers for anything missing in their expense claims, so the organisation can reimburse them on time. She is also engaged in chasing customers for late payments on their shopping expenses.  

In her spare time, Linda likes reading and travelling.
