What I'm looking for

I seek a student-centered role in a supportive school where I can mentor youth, lead Life Orientation and technology programs, contribute to extracurriculars, and grow into greater leadership or training responsibilities.

I am an accomplished educator with over two decades of experience teaching Life Orientation, Technology and Religious Studies, and mentoring adolescents with a strong dedication to empowerment and support.

Throughout my 21-year tenure at Stellenberg High School and prior teaching roles, I have consistently delivered high-quality instruction, taken on organizational responsibilities, and contributed to emotional support teams for students in need.

My background includes a Bachelor's degree in Youth Work (Honours), Higher National Certificates in Life Orientation facilitation and Live Sound Reinforcement, and practical experience in school administration, extracurricular music programs, and event production.

I am detail-oriented, a fast learner, and proficient with computers; I bring leadership, dependable classroom management, and a commitment to student-centered outcomes to every role.
