What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that fosters growth, creativity, and collaboration.

I am a detail-oriented graduate with a bachelor’s degree in political science and international relations, currently pursuing my Honours at the University of Pretoria. My academic journey has equipped me with a strong foundation in administrative coordination and project management, allowing me to thrive in fast-paced environments.

In my professional experience, I have successfully managed social media calendars and coordinated content deadlines as a Content Creator and Editor at The Volt Tuks. My role involved editing and proofreading video scripts, ensuring they adhered to brand guidelines. Additionally, as a Social Media Marketing Assistant at PDBY, I collaborated with teams to produce engaging content while simplifying workflows for graphic and video production.

Beyond my professional roles, I have taken on mentorship positions, facilitating meetings and supervising research initiatives. My commitment to client service, time management, and teamwork has been pivotal in delivering results and maintaining high standards in all my endeavors.
