Aspiration
I am currently enrolled at UNISA for a Marketing Management diploma and, as of 2025, have decided to transition to a Bachelor of Commerce degree with a focus on Informatics and Business Management, for which I will register in 2026. My long-term goal is to grow into a decision-making role where I can contribute to an organization’s economic growth and sustainability, while also supporting the development and mentoring of upcoming employees to help build a strong and capable workforce.
Affiliations
- I enjoy playing golf and fishing
- I enjoy family time and being outdoors
- I always try to find ways to upskill myself in some activity that would be meaningful, and I believe that everything you do has a lesson to be learned, even in everyday life activities, and it keeps you humble
- My wish is to be able to contribute more towards children with disabilities, financially and physically
