About
I am a Rhodes University Journalism graduate with more than 25 years of experience in the advertising and media communications business. An award-winning owner and founder of my own business, I am also a qualified professional business coach, with a specific focus on career coaching.
Often asked to speak and address various audiences on women entrepreneurship, career development and related subjects, I am passionate about inspiring people to redefine what success means for them and ultimately bring about meaningful changes in their professional and business lives. Based in Johannesburg, I’m a book critic for a few online publications in my spare time and I run marathons to keep healthy. I’m also passionate about the volunteer counselling work I do at Lifeline, Johannesburg.
My other professional involvements include being a board member of the Association for Communication & Advertising, as well as for a KZN-based rural development not-for-profit organization called Heifer South Africa (HPSA).
