I build positive client relationships through customer service, tutoring, and clear communication.
South AfricaWhat I'm looking for
I'm completing a Bachelor of Social Sciences in Psychology and Social Development at the University of Cape Town, where I have maintained a 70% average GPA.
As an IAPO Buddy Leader with UCT's International Office, I guided study-abroad and new international postgraduate students as they navigated UCT and Cape Town. I also facilitated International Office events, strengthening my organisation and communication skills.
At Prep2Perfection, I support students with homework, test preparation, and weekly learning activities. My tutoring work has developed my ability to communicate clearly with students and parents while building supportive relationships.
Through customer-facing roles at ST Marys Pharmacy and OK Supermarket, I've assisted customers, handled checkouts, and helped people find what they need. I also volunteered with children with autism and ADHD, supporting homework and basic life skills with patience and compassion.
