As an educator and teacher I have taught, lectured, trained, and mentored individuals and groups of people. I have also had to deal with conflict, counseling and problem resolution. The nature of this professional life has equipped me with excellent communication, administration, research and time management skills. In my formative years I was exposed informally to work in a large organization and, having experience of starting and running own business, this has provided me with a repertoire of interpersonal, managerial and business skills to effectively add value to those organisations.
