Mandita Rakei
BSc Hons Student In Computational & Applied Mathematics
Johannesburg
Summary
My name is Mandita and I enjoy a charming view of the sunset, walking alongside the beach and being in nature. Thus my interest in pursing the knowledge of understanding the laws that govern the cosmos. Hence the study of physics and mathematics contain a certain level of beauty. I believe a little bit of kindness goes a long way and that true leadership is being able to empower others to become the best version of themselves.
I'm a personable and driven leader with a natural ability to inspire and guide others. I have a strong understanding of organizational management and strategic planning, backed by solid decision-making and communication skills. I'm passionate about driving positive change and fostering collaboration within teams.
