About

I am a dedicated and results-driven professional with over 13 years of experience in social work, community development, and programme coordination. My career has equipped me with strong expertise in case management, stakeholder engagement, report writing, legislative compliance, and delivering person-centred services that create positive outcomes.

I have expanded my professional profile by obtaining a Bachelor of Social Work, SAMTRAC certification, and training in accident and incident investigation, occupational health and safety, and heavy equipment operation. These qualifications have strengthened my ability to contribute to health, safety, environmental, and quality (SHEQ/HSE) initiatives while maintaining a strong focus on people, compliance, and organisational performance.

I am recognised for my integrity, communication skills, leadership, problem-solving ability, and commitment to continuous learning. I am passionate about creating safe workplaces, supporting communities, and helping organisations achieve operational excellence through collaboration, compliance, and effective risk management.
