What I'm looking for

I am seeking a challenging role where I can utilize my skills and experience to make a meaningful impact and continue to grow professionally.

I'm a dedicated and versatile professional with a diverse background spanning sales, education, administration, and project coordination. With a bachelor's degree in social science from the University of Cape Town, I've honed my skills in communication, leadership, and problem-solving.

In my recent role as an SDR Consultant at Teleperformance South Africa, I provided comprehensive support to clients, ensuring their needs were met with excellence. Prior to that, I facilitated workshops and provided career guidance as part of the South African Education Project, where I played a pivotal role in preparing students for higher education.

As a Sales and Service Consultant, my primary responsibility was to provide comprehensive support to clients, ensuring their satisfaction and retention within the company's client base. I managed web chat support and directly addressed client inquiries and concerns, utilizing effective communication skills to resolve issues promptly. Additionally, I exceeded sales targets through proactive engagement and the application of effective sales techniques. By developing a deep understanding of the products and services offered by the company, I effectively communicated their features, benefits, and value propositions to customers, thereby enhancing overall client experience and driving business growth.

During my tenure at the UCT Faculty of Law's Marketing and Development Office, I showcased my organizational prowess by curating presentations, managing social media accounts, and engaging alumni for faculty events. Additionally, my experience as Treasurer General and Project Coordinator for the Black Lawyers Association UCT Chapter equipped me with financial acumen and event management skills.

As a Parliamentary Monitor for the Parliamentary Monitoring Group, I conducted in-depth research and authored reports, contributing valuable insights to the organization. Furthermore, my involvement in the Thethani Debating League and the Cape Town Globalist Magazine allowed me to refine my leadership, communication, and editorial skills.

I am excited about the opportunity to leverage my diverse skill set and experiences to contribute positively. With a passion for continuous learning and a track record of success in various roles, I am eager to bring my unique perspective and drive for excellence to your team
