What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my skills in project management and stakeholder engagement while contributing to meaningful community initiatives.

I am a dedicated professional with a strong passion for making a difference at both community and individual levels. My experience spans various roles, including Learning Manager at the South African Institute of Stockbrokers, where I successfully managed education program delivery and stakeholder engagement. My focus on process development and strategic initiatives has allowed me to contribute meaningfully to the financial markets industry.

Throughout my career, I have embraced opportunities to lead and coordinate projects across diverse cultural contexts, from local initiatives in South Africa to international collaborations in Zambia and Guatemala. My ability to engage stakeholders and develop effective communication strategies has been pivotal in my roles, particularly in my position as Communications Manager at Fasset, where I raised awareness about careers in finance and accounting across the country.
