What I'm looking for

I seek a role in community or youth programme coordination that values hands-on project delivery, collaboration, growth, and measurable social impact.

I am a dedicated project coordinator with two years' hands-on experience managing youth-focused programmes within local government. I specialize in planning, coordinating and delivering projects on time and within budget while maintaining quality and stakeholder engagement.

My background includes community development and psychology (BASc; Honours) from the University of KwaZulu-Natal, which informs my approach to community participation, outreach and empowerment initiatives. I have practical experience working with NGOs, venue logistics, report and minutes preparation, and customer service.

I am proficient in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook) and bring strengths in administration, communication, facilitation and stakeholder networking. I work well under pressure and emphasize attention to detail, critical thinking and collaborative team delivery.

I am seeking opportunities where I can apply my project management skills to community development and youth empowerment, grow professionally, and take on responsibilities that deliver measurable social impact.
