What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can apply my small-business operations and client-relations experience, contribute to community-focused work, and grow in management responsibilities.

I am an entrepreneurial business owner with experience in strategic decision-making, financial planning, and client liaison, having run a small business from 2018 to 2022 while contributing time as a community volunteer. I bring dependable organizational skills, strong communication across isiZulu and English, and a commitment to service demonstrated through volunteer work at a community soup kitchen.

I achieved academic merit recognition through school and am motivated to apply my operational and client-facing experience to roles that value initiative, reliability, and community impact. I thrive in positions requiring practical business management, stakeholder engagement, and a hands-on approach to problem solving.
