What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to inspire students and promote physical fitness while fostering a collaborative and supportive educational environment.

As a Human Movement Scientist graduate from North-West University and Varsity College, I have developed a strong foundation in health sciences and education. My academic achievements, including First Class Distinction, reflect my commitment to excellence. I am currently teaching Natural Sciences and Life Science at Sutherland High School, where I also serve as a sports coach. My leadership roles in school and community volunteering have honed my skills in communication, teamwork, and problem-solving.

Throughout my career, I have been dedicated to fostering a positive learning environment and promoting physical fitness among students. My experience as a mentor and athletics captain has equipped me with the ability to inspire and guide others. I am eager to expand my career in education, particularly in teaching Life Science and Life Orientation, while also exploring opportunities in administration and personal training.
