About
I’m an analyst, an entrepreneur, a creative soul, a story teller - an innovator and strategist at heart. Over the span of my professional career, I have been fortunate enough to have been immersed and exposed to a magnitude of different industries, from the Food, Retail & Hospitality industries to Imports & Exports, Logistics and Training, during the height of the broadband and Voice Over IP global explosion, I spent 4 years in Telecommunications industry in the UK running a successful team of engineers at the age of 23, over the last 5 years I have been involved the Financial Services Sector.
I’m qualified in the Media & Broadcast sector, specializing in Post Production and Live Sound Reinforcement and am currently in the final year of my 2nd tertiary qualification, a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology & Economics. I am able to adapt and improve at the drop of a hat in any situation I find myself in. I have a strong moral compass and know that ethics are vital, I believe in paying your dues in life and business and that hard work will get you where you need to go.
I’m not just a “Fixer” I’m a “teacher” ,“partner” and confidant - I’m dedicated, internally motivated and solutions driven, I get the job done by using out-of the-box thinking, seeking to innovate and disrupt through constantly evolving and developing my own skill set.
I identify vulnerabilities within a business or individual, then help resolve and improve these vulnerabilities by creating realistic tangible solutions, ensuring the implementation is successful. I do this both in a professional and personal capacity, I believe in the idea of teaching a man to fish as opposed to giving a man a fish, we can all be better, do more, have more, want more. My personal mantra: “Make your presence known and your absence felt”

Housed at the SABC, South Africa's broadcast hub, and the centre of Africa's technical audio industry, ASE is ideally located to train the true potential audio professional. ASE students are directly exposed to the entertainment industry from their first day on campus. Daily interaction with industry professionals is almost unavoidable, and students are immediately absorbed, by their very presence, into this exciting world. -

Florida Baby House is a safe-house and functions, by law, under the auspices of the AFM Executive Welfare Council (uMephi).
UMephi is a government subsidized Children's Village and has been in existence since 1977. It's a radical departure from the old institutional / dormitory concept. House parents care for the children in houses or baby units in different areas of South Africa. Each home is specially equipped to give the special care every child needs.

UMephi is a government subsidized Children's Village and has been in existence since 1977. It's a radical departure from the old institutional / dormitory concept. House parents care for the children in houses or baby units in different areas of South Africa. Each home is specially equipped to give the special care every child needs.
The Florida Baby Home opened its doors 7 years ago and is under the care of dedicated house parents, supported by a team of 8 trained baby care givers. This means that at any time, there are at least two baby care givers on duty.
Our baby home offers a safe accommodation and a loving environment to babies found abandoned affected and/or infected with HIV/AIDS.
The babies receive holistic care, ensuring their emotional, medical, educational, nutritional and social needs are met completely.
Theye believe that the 1st prize for every child is to grow up with his or her biological parents or family therefore our in-house social worker ensures that everything possible is done to allocate these families and reunite them.
Their Ultimate Focus is to find FOREVER FAMILIES for our very special babies.
Theye are very dependent on the assistance from our local community and volunteers to help make life a little easier for these little ones.
The home has been running at full capacity for the past 3 years; securing the safety of 50 babies, including 22 International adoptions, 1 national adoption and 5 babies moving to toddler homes.
I have spent time, as a volunteer at this centre, duties ranging from feeding, bathing and playing with these adorable HIV positive babies. The work that this Centre does is absolutely amazing, we definitely need more of these places of safety for our orphaned children.
