About

I am a compliant and dutiful individual who is considerate of other people, traits that enabled me to work with 2 NGOs: Mentor Me Too and Young Leaders of Tomorrow. My boldness and tenacity led to my induction into the School of Architecture and Planning Student School Council, where I performed student advocacy and mentorship. Additionally, I have completed a 4 month tutoring training programme which equipped me with leadership and problem solving skills.

As a requirement to complete my honours degree, I wrote a research report titled: Explaining Growth and Decline Factors of Microenterprises in Townships which equipped me with time management and report writing skills.
