About Me
Academics crystallized for me at the University of KwaZulu-Natal where I developed a strong educational milieu and received certificates of merit for excellence in the subjects: Management & Labour Relations, and Water & Environmental Engineering.
Inner confidence was a trait I carefully acquired, from public speaking (which includes training from Dale Carnegie® and Toastmasters International®), that was cultivated and grown to equip me with strong intrapersonal skills that has been of immense benefit in my life.
I have held several roles in business (listed below) and leadership positions (including SAICE Branding Officer for the UKZN Student Chapter) where I acquired a working knowledge of finance and management principles, as well as, developed various entrepreneurial skills.
My philosophy is that life is about taking in every moment and experiencing it with all your senses – savouring it and living in it. I am, therefore, one who believes in being the best person I can be at all times, and in giving every new opportunity my all. I am zealous about educating myself further and developing an outstanding work ethic.
I also believe that it is extremely important for me to make time for the ones I love - and living a balanced life. I therefore spend as much time as I can with family & friends, and I commit myself to keeping healthy by exercising on a regular basis.
