TRISHA MAHARAJ

CAPE TOWN

Summary

To leverage my knowledge, skills, and experience in a professional capacity, contributing to the success and growth of an organization while driving positive impact and innovation. To continuously acquire new skills and foster personal growth, contributing effectively to team success and adding value to the organization.

I have always been passionate about helping others shine and bring out their best. This passion naturally extends to my love for makeup and styling, where I enjoy creating unique, themed looks for photoshoots and special events. From 2013 to 2021, I took a career break to focus on raising my children and became a full-time stay-at-home mom. During this time, as my children started school, I seized the opportunity to launch my makeup business, which grew steadily and successfully after its inception in 2015. This allowed me to balance family life while seeing clients during the hours I wasn't caring for my children. In 2019, I relocated to Cape Town to further pursue my entrepreneurial ambitions. Additionally, I began assisting with administrative duties in my family's legal business and production plant in Dubai, a role I continue to manage remotely on a part-time basis.
