Summary

I was born in Zimbabwe, and raised both in South Africa and Zambia. I schooled in Zambia, through the Cambridge System, and came down to South Africa to fulfill a Gap Year straight after. During my Gap Year I did a lot of community service work, teaching underprivileged children sport, a well as educating them in schools. As a 23 year old, I am currently in my last year of studies at Eta College, with the end goal of obtaining a BSC in sports Science. As one would gather from my CV, I am a true lover of sports, health and fitness. Having played sport all my life, I enjoy imparting my sporting knowledge and other various skills on the younger generation as I feel I am a great asset for their personal growth and development hence why I continue to coach sport and take up leadership roles in companies such as in Tribe.

TAG
Cape Town

Tag Rugby Coach
03.2019 - 01.2020

Job overview

  • My time working for Tag was short as it was a part time student job. However, I gained useful experience working with very little children in the efforts to teach them basic ball skills pertaining to Tag Rugby. I worked in various events during my time at Tag, such as the Champions Tournament that consisted of all the great schools of South Africa, competing in hockey and netball matches. I ran a tech table stand and ensured the games ran smoothly and effectively during this tournament. I also coordinated the HSBC Tag Rugby event that promoted play for underprivilaged children and included special visitors such as Bryan Habana. I often was placed in managerial positions during events whilst working for tag, as my reliability, management and coordination skills are good.
