What I'm looking for

I seek dynamic opportunities that value creativity, collaboration, and individual contributions.

With over 15 years of diverse experience, I have successfully managed public relations, event management, international partnerships, stakeholder relations, business development, research, and fundraising across various landscapes. My career has been marked by building strong global networks, positioning myself as a trusted collaborator and strategic partner. I thrive in environments that foster creativity and innovation, and I am driven by intellectual challenges.

Throughout my professional journey, I have achieved significant milestones, such as securing R2 billion in investment funding for Musa Capital and facilitating a lucrative contract with a Mauritius company. My commitment to excellence and ability to deliver results across multiple sectors enable me to bring both strategic vision and hands-on leadership to every project I undertake.
