A professional actress/facilitator, a highly driven salesperson, and a resourceful researcher. Holding a great deal of expertise in each of these domains. By multitasking and being driven to constantly give my all in everything I do, I was able to amass all these experiences. Following my time spent as a debt collector at Vericred Collections, I noticed that one of the largest organizations in South Africa, Clientele, was offering better opportunity and I worked there as a field agent. Later in the position, I received an acceptance letter to continue my education at the University of the Witwatersrand and resigned at Clientele due to these reasons. At School, I finished my Diploma in Art, my Honours Degree, and I still have a Master's degree to complete. Aside from acting, I enhanced my abilities and learned how to lead an art project, conduct research, and to be a writer. While a student I then worked at Aegies Startek for Telkom campaign, as a consultant agent to be able to pay some of my expenses as a student, and later resigned due to exams, I recently resigned from my position at Sanlam as a sales agent due to the payment structure. I am sure I can succeed in everything I set my mind to, given my journey. As I have demonstrated assertiveness in the prior competitive companies that I have worked for, I am also confident in my ability to be a resourceful employee. I am eager to work in a demanding role at an ambitious business or organization so I may keep developing my skills. EXPERIENCE
