Xolela Sogoni

During my last position at UAG, as an Educational Officer I was responsible for setting up exhibitions and conducting group walkabouts which included schools, the general public, international students and academics visiting the university. Also, my key performance areas went as far as implementing marketing strategies that promote increased growth in gallery tours and traffic, organizing talks during exhibitions, and engaging with local communities through art workshops to uphold the gallery’s image. I also had a good working relationship with the curator and his assistant.

Personally, I like a high challenge and am a hard worker that also learns fast. I’m able to take on new responsibilities and adapt easily to new situations and circumstances. I hope my qualifications fit me for the post needed and that I may be granted an interview.
