Summary

I believe that my knowledge, skills, values, and vast experience would be a perfect fit for your organisation and indeed, that it would benefit from my services by providing outstanding value. I am of the opinion that your organisation would in turn provide me with new and exciting challenges, which would lead to great personal and career growth.

Over the past twenty-five years, I have been involved predominately in education: from pre-primary to under- graduate level. In this capacity I have taught, lectured, trained, mentored, tutored, counselled, and facilitated individuals as well as groups of people.

However, I also have a number of years of both industry specific as well as general business, organisational and marketing experience.

Furthermore, by the very nature of my profession and aligned occupations, communication, administration, creativity, and research have played an essential role in my life.

Over this period, I have built up a repertoire of skills: interpersonal, managerial, research and technical, that have indeed informed and complimented one another and provided opportunities for consistent growth and an array of abilities with which to overcome various challenges and obstacles.

Lastly, I have transferred my professional education competencies and expertise to various industries, management and marketing roles, and businesses as the need arose.
