Nazo Mkhulisi
Durban
Summary
I have over 10 years in the Tourism industry and have managed many international and national conferences for both associations, corporate and government which puts me ahead of a lot of the communities I have worked in which are vast. As part of my Project management skills I manage all functions and launching from community development programmes, to conferences, cocktails and dinners from quotation to speaker management, dealing with sponsors and exhibitors. I am a dedicated individual. My time as an Event planner has equipped me with understanding of protocol when dealing with private sector and Government. My years being a Managing Member of Planet Naz Décor and Trading has equipped me with immense understanding of service delivery and business management and I take pride in that.
I have worked on a variety of projects which exposed me to the strides and processes of service delivery and all the work being done, accompanied by careful planning and use of available resources. My independent personality allows me to thrive under pressure. Part of my job description is making things happen, I plan, execute, manage all projects with commitment and good energy.
