I am definitely an extrovert and enjoy working with or for people. I have previous experience as a FOH Manager, almost 3 years and I thoroughly enjoy the hospitality/servicing industry. You can say it's because of the recognition and compliments I get, but it's also because it warms my heart to see people enjoy and be grateful for the good service you are getting.

I am the youngest of 6 children and believe that is the reason for my extrovert personality.

Since I was 16, I started to work as a promoter for my mother's marketing business - In-store promotions, events (wine shows, roadshows), flyer distribution for up until I was out of matric.

During my university days, I went from promoter to area supervisor for Potchefstroom up until Covid.

When covid started, I started working for my mother's restaurant & venue space - La Vie Lente where I started as the hostess and worked my way up to the FOH Manager. I enjoyed this job so much as it combined the things I love such as being busy, working with clients, creativity and being part of the servicing industry.

Currently for almost a year (Started on 28 Feb 2022) I am working as an office administrator for hearX and I enjoy it, but not as much as being in the heart of the hospitality industry. I do handle catering and functions at the workplace, but I am limited to what I can do and to reach my full potential.

I passed matric as the top student in Business Studies and then went off to study BCom Financial Accounting, but due to Covid-19 I could not finish 3 of my 3rd year subjects. I hope to be able to finish it, but I am still paying off the previous debt, so as soon as I can financially pay for to finish those subjects, I will.
