What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to leverage my skills in sales and research while contributing to meaningful projects in tourism or conservation.

I am a dedicated professional with a BA Hons in Travel and Tourism Management from the University of Derby, Botswana Accountancy College. My career spans various roles, including Field Assistant in Crop Production, where I composed data on crop yields and assessed agronomic practices. My analytical skills were further honed as a Sales and Client Relationship Manager, where I developed strategies that significantly increased revenue and optimized inventory processes.

In addition to my professional experience, I have a strong commitment to community service, having served as a Community Outreach Facilitator and Deputy Chairperson for the Botswana Student Network. These roles allowed me to enhance my leadership and communication skills while supporting individuals in their career journeys. I am passionate about continuous learning and staying updated on industry developments, which I pursued as a Research Assistant at the Human Resource Development Council.
