What I'm looking for

I seek program- or project-focused roles where I can lead delivery, improve processes, mentor teams, and work with collaborative, mission-driven organisations offering growth toward PMP certification.

I am a Program Manager with 5+ years leading cross-functional teams and delivering complex organisational projects, including supporting R180M and R80M–R200M transformations. I focus on strategic planning, budgeting, governance compliance, and streamlining processes to improve operational efficiency and reporting.

I have led the CodeGirls program to expand coding and business skills training for underrepresented women, achieving a 90% completion rate, and implemented centralized onboarding, equipment tracking, and reporting systems across projects. I collaborate effectively with international stakeholders, deliver clear executive reporting, and am progressing towards my PMP.
