What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role combining trading, team management and operations in a collaborative organization where I can mentor others, run systems-driven processes, and deliver measurable results.

I am a friendly, bilingual South African professional known for kindness, compassion and dependable leadership. I bring exceptional organizational and administrative skills and an optimistic, go-getter attitude to every role.

I manage a personal portfolio focused on currencies and CFDs and oversee a small options account while providing market analysis and trading-system support to other independent day traders. Previously I served as Group Trading Manager, managing trader teams, training beginners, overseeing daily analysis and testing new systems.

I am the owner and manager of a Dance Development program, responsible for event organization, administration, client liaison, general management and choreography, with extensive experience working with youth and producing recurring events.

I offer strong computer literacy, bilingual communication in English and Afrikaans, quick learning, mentoring ability and reliable independent work—skills that help me deliver measurable results and support team success.
