Asanda April

I am a third-year Sustainable Development student at Stellenbosch University with experience in environmental sustainability, retail and hospitality. My internship experience within Stellenbosch University's Environmental Sustainability Department has strengthened my skills in sustainability research, waste management, project planning, stakeholder engagement and reporting. I am a hardworking and adaptable individual with strong communication, teamwork, problem-solving and organisational skills.

I am interested in opportunities where I can apply my sustainability knowledge while contributing positively to an organisation.
