Summary

Having completed my tertiary and school teaching studies, I travelled to London for two years where I worked and gained experience in sales, office administration, bartending (which included the monetary responsibility of cashing up and balancing), and reception duties.

Upon returning to South Africa, my professional work experience has, thus far, covered the education of pre-primary and primary learners. Over and above the normal duties of an Educator, my responsibilities included the administration of all report writing about the learners as well as the organization of school functions e.g. sports days, fundraising activities, concerts etc.,

I believe that I am capable of learning and adapting to any new work environment as I find new challenges extremely motivating.

I have a very happy disposition and believe that my strength lies in my compassion and loyalty towards others. Regarding my work, I am responsible and self-motivated. Proven administration and teaching professional with a track record of fostering strong relationships and creating supportive learning environments at institutions like Bordeaux Primary\ and Highveld Primary School. Excels in multitasking and problem-solving, demonstrating exceptional organizational skills and a friendly, positive attitude.
