Shannon Munnick

I am a highly passionate, articulate, motivated and a determined twenty-seven year old female. I am an ambitious and a positive person who has matured through life experiences and challenges brought before me. I have grown and developed through the art of listening and learning, never giving up, learning from my mistakes, making failure a steppingstone, focusing more on solutions rather than problems and most importantly my willingness to grasp, manage and perfect any task given to me.

My ability and eagerness to improve my personal and professional skills, is consistently being demonstrated by show casing team work, efficiency, confidence and optimism which is helping to accelerate my journey to success. I am 100% geared up to take on my next challenge as a young professional and engage with brilliant minds and in the process gain as much knowledge and professional working experience as I possibly can. The world is populated with individuals that will succeed as per their own definition and those that will fail as per their own definition.

What separates the two kinds of people is the willingness to internalise traditional education, education from one’s experience or education from other people’s experience. With this being said, having studied law and knowing that I did not want to be a practising attorney, joining the Broad based Black Economic Employment compliance industry was the best decision I have ever made for my career. I have nourished my leadership and management skills as well as business administration.

I have grown a profound passion for the transformation, skills development, and employment equity space and know that I have gained so much valuable knowledge in this area of law but most importantly I am aware that I have so much more to gain and the latter is what really excites me the most about my developing career.
