Recent graduate with a passion for library and information services.
South AfricaWhat I'm looking for
I am a dedicated professional with a Bachelor of Arts Honours in Psychology and a strong background in library and information services. My recent internship at the University of the Free State allowed me to enhance my skills in collection development, resource management, and vendor relations. I successfully purchased over 100 print and electronic books, ensuring that our library's resources were both current and accessible to students.
Prior to my internship, I served as a volunteer and deputy director at the Katlego Mhetoa Foundation, where I conducted prevention programs for children and managed various fundraising initiatives. This experience honed my leadership and organizational skills, as I was responsible for administrative duties and community outreach. I thrive in collaborative environments and am committed to making a positive impact in my community.
