What I'm looking for

I'm seeking an entry-level or junior role in administration, customer service, community engagement, research support, or a related field, where I can contribute while completing my studies.

I'm completing a Bachelor of Social Science in Sociology and Geography at the University of Eswatini, with academic focus on urban sociology, spatial analysis, population studies, environmental resource management, and social research.

For my undergraduate thesis, I designed and executed a qualitative sociological and spatial study of rural-urban migration in Mangwaneni, using interviews, participant observation, and focus groups to generate insights on urban integration, housing resilience, and community support.

I founded and lead The Women Drive Initiative, organise outreach and development sessions, and have led university club operations and church hospitality teams through event management, volunteer training, budget oversight, and community engagement.
