What I'm looking for
I am a dynamic and dedicated professional with a strong foundation in psychology, holding a Bachelor of Education from the University of KwaZulu-Natal. With five years of transformative teaching experience and subsequent administrative roles, I have honed my skills in payroll management, employee relations, and sales. Currently, I am pursuing a BCom in Human Resources, aiming to leverage my diverse background to develop impactful HR strategies that empower teams and drive organizational success.
Throughout my career, I have served as a Senior Preparatory Teacher at Reddam House Waterfall, where I crafted diverse lesson plans and delivered engaging presentations to varied audiences. My experience at SPARKS Schools Carlswald further solidified my organizational and teaching skills. Additionally, my role as Office Manager at Colour Glo Umhlanga allowed me to coordinate office operations, assist in recruitment processes, and manage employee records effectively.
