What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a long-term, fully remote role where I can grow professionally, contribute meaningfully to a team, and build strong client relationships. I value stability, collaboration, clear communication, and opportunities to develop new skills while making a positive impact.

I’m a dynamic and client-focused professional with over two years of experience in education, science communication, and stakeholder engagement. My career began in the education sector, where I taught Natural and Life Sciences, later transitioning to a national science agency where I led large-scale engagement programs, workshops, and client-facing initiatives across South Africa.

I’ve supported diverse partners—from educators and NGOs to government departments—by ensuring smooth onboarding, clear communication, and ongoing support to meet project goals. I’m highly organized, proactive, and thrive in remote work environments. I’m also experienced in coordinating events, managing databases, reporting, and mentoring clients through structured support and follow-up.

What drives me is helping others succeed. I value long-term partnerships, clear communication, and measurable outcomes. Outside of work, I’m passionate about technology in education, space science, and sustainable development. I’m currently advancing my qualifications in inclusive education to continue making an impact where it matters most.
