Experience
English Tutor
During my undergraduate studies at the University of Cape Town, I was a English tutor at Each 1 Teach 1. I tutored high school learner in Fisantekraal, an impoverish community outside Cape Town. I also hosted life skill workshops.
Social Worker
I was a child protection social worker for abused and neglected children in the Cape Flats (Manenberg, Hanover Park, Heideveld and Athlone). Referrals came from hospitals/ schools or concerned community or family members. I had 24 hours to conduct an investigation, as to whether I must remove the child. This process was done via Children's Court, where my reports were deemed as an expert witness. I also counselled children and parents.
Education
SocSci (Hons) Social Policy and Management - University of Cape Town
I was awarded the A. W Mellon Foundation Scholarship to pursue my post-graduate studies. I decided to study Social Policy, so that my work will affect not only people on a micro level, but a macro level. My dream is to run my own NGO, and therefore pursued my studies in Management of NGOs.
Bachelor of Social Work - University of Cape Town
I transferred from UNISA to UCT in my 2nd year, where I completed my Bachelors in Social Work, due to my passion for helping people, specially children.
Subjects taught
-
English Literature
I am an avid reader and English literature was my favourite subject. I am one to always look for deeper meaning and create dialogue through analysing themes. I have a background in psychology and sociology, which adds depth of the discussion.

Grammar
With reading as a past time hobby, I have developed a keen eye for grammatical order. I have editted a PHD thesis for a fellow colleague and six undergraduate thesis submissions. I am at my Masters level within the Humanties department, and therefore naturally indulge in a fair amount of reading and writing.
