What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to empower communities, advocate for vulnerable populations, and foster positive change in social welfare.

I am a dedicated and compassionate social worker with a strong educational foundation, holding both a Diploma and Bachelor's degree from the University of Botswana. My experience spans various roles where I have provided holistic support to individuals and communities facing challenges, emphasizing empowerment and advocacy.

Currently, I work as an Independent Social Worker with The Independent Social Work Association (TISWA), where I undertake special guardianship assessments for Africans living in the UK. My role involves advocating for the best interests of children, conducting thorough assessments, and ensuring that their needs are prioritized throughout the guardianship process. I have also contributed significantly to community welfare through my previous roles, including delivering food parcels during the pandemic and providing emotional support to those in need.
