What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my event coordination, budgeting, leadership, and community-engagement skills in a supportive environment where I can make a difference and grow in my future career.

I'm studying BCom International Business at Stellenbosch University while coordinating events and initiatives for the Society of International Business.

As Treasurer for the Nerina Community Council, I manage house finances, budgeting, and the Fairy Godmother Fund supporting residents in need. I also contribute to residence operations through assigned portfolios.

I've planned and delivered residence events as a Project Manager, managing teams and budgets, and I continue to build visual-content experience through photography committees and freelance photography.

My school leadership included Head Girl, Hostel Executive Committee Member, RCL Member, and Junior Mayor. I enjoy bringing people together, creating supportive environments, and contributing to my community.
