Experience
Learning Environments Manager
I was managing the day to day running of a new school which is based on an exciting learning method. The school is in Rosebank, Johannesburg, and my duties included secretarial duties, the management of the space, placing orders, communicating with parents and assisting the learners (grades 3 - 6) with school work.
Education
BA English and Film - Uct
I was studying a BA with majors in English and Film. My modules included linguistics, English, sociology, media and film. I left UCT as I was unhappy with my courses and decided a Bcom would better suite my ambitions in helping the less fortunate.
Bcom Law - Wits
I'm studying a Bcom with majors in economics and law. I am planning on doing a post grad in Law. My modules include introduction to law, law of persons, micro economics, macro economics, computational Maths, business statistics and information systems.
