I have always had a deep sense to help other people; this is a trait

I have carried for as long as I can remember. My dedication to helping others is seen through being awarded the Kgomotso Tsatsi Trophy, which is given to the student who is said to have a great passion for helping those in the community throughout the schooling years. It is an award that embodies service to others and is only awarded when there is a suitable candidate (not on a yearly basis). This passion for other people and their well-being is a trait that I carry at my very core. From the moment I left school I began working because I have always understood the importance of gaining work experience, building work ethic as well as being financially independent.

I am a well-spoken and confident young woman. I am easy going which allows me to get along with people from all walks of life. Being able to connect with people is an incredibly important skill to possess as it contributes greatly to the strength of any team. I am organized and learn very quickly; this coupled with my passion for helping others gives me a competitive edge.
