My post matric studies include a Business Administration Learnership, Fundamentals of Digital Marketing as well as being a certified Facilitator and Assessor. As an administrator and sales representative, in my previous roles, I performed multifaceted jobs and was responsible for the day- to-day administrative operations, including data entry, clerical tasks, scheduling, implementing procedures and assisting my supervisor with ad hoc duties. In these roles, I had an opportunity to showcase my strong communication skills, accuracy and attention to detail, resilience and the ability to work independently. My ability to integrate in various cultures has seen me enjoy diverse work opportunities in my career thus far. My leadership qualities and ethics are of an exceptional standard, and I have proven myself ethically strong and wise in challenging situations within my work spaces.
My Vision is to contribute to the creation of strong, functional relationships that foster access and development for all within my workspace.
My Mission is captured by the prolific James Baldwin: “Not everything that is faced can be changed, but
nothing can be changed until it is faced”. Hence, I am committed to working in environments that face the ever-changing times, we live in and to provide strategic, agile and skilful leadership and support.
