What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to grow my skills while making a positive impact in the community.

I am a highly organized and detail-oriented individual with a strong desire to develop my skills in a professional setting. My experience spans various roles, including working as a General Worker at the Gauteng Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, where I contributed to the construction and maintenance of public infrastructure, environmental management, and social services. My time there honed my problem-solving abilities and attention to detail, which I am eager to apply in future opportunities.

Previously, I served as an Education Assistant at Hoerskool Vanderbijlpark, where I supported teachers in managing classroom materials and records. My role as a Ward Based HIV&AIDS Educator at Seekers Tower Ministries allowed me to create educational materials and conduct community outreach, fostering my communication and leadership skills. I am passionate about making a positive impact in my community and am excited to bring my diverse experiences to a new role.
