Message

At University of Johannesburg, I supported the development of the Virtual Immersion Portal, which helps Grade 11 and 12 learners explore university courses based on their subjects and interests. I collaborated with IT teams, designers, and academic staff, and contributed to the UJ Student Arrival and Transport App.

As Project Coordinator for Kimani Coffee, a portfolio under MUDD Property Development, I assist with project plans, schedules, stakeholder communications, and progress reporting. I also use AI tools, prompt writing, and workflow automation to improve efficiency.

At MUDD Property Developers, I provide administrative and operational support to the Company Directors, coordinating calendars, preparing documents, and maintaining filing systems. I also track tasks and deadlines and help organize meetings.

My experience also includes peer mentoring and tutoring at University of Johannesburg, as well as programming and operating stage lighting with Avolites Lighting Software. I hold a BA Honours in Public Management and Governance and a BA in Humanities from University of Johannesburg.
