What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to apply my sociology knowledge and research skills in a supportive and impactful environment.

I am a recent sociology graduate with a strong foundation in research skills and a deep understanding of social behavior and dynamics. My academic journey at Midlands State University has equipped me with the knowledge and tools necessary to analyze social structures and contribute meaningfully to human services. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to support individuals and families in need, enhancing their social well-being through impactful programs.

During my time as a Project Assistant at HelpAge Zimbabwe, I honed my abilities in data collection and analysis, contributing to the successful implementation of various projects. I actively participated in monitoring and evaluation activities, ensuring project effectiveness and providing valuable insights through regular reporting. My experience as a Sales Representative at Oasis Motors further developed my communication and problem-solving skills, enabling me to build strong relationships with clients and exceed sales targets.
