Model and client-facing professional who blends creative marketing insight, relationship management, and entrepreneurial drive.
South AfricaWhat I'm looking for
I bring a client-focused, high-responsibility work history that spans office support, sales, and front-of-house customer relations—built on clear communication and reliable follow-through. From managing accounts and organising internal files to delivering client communication and maintaining inventory, I’m comfortable operating in fast-paced, detail-driven environments.
In my client-facing roles, I’ve owned relationship management end-to-end: managing clientele, contributing to marketing strategy development, and supporting portfolio presentations alongside senior decision-makers. I also handled retail customer relations, sales negotiation, and theft prevention—work that sharpened my ability to stay calm, persuasive, and professional under pressure.
Today, I work through Fusion Model Management, working for brands such as Ferrari and Mazda, where presentation and collaboration matter every day. Alongside this, I’ve pursued entrepreneurship by starting a business making marble and porcelain coffee tables and side tables, and I’ve kept a disciplined interest in financial investment (mainly crypto) to support long-term goals.
