Show profile Hide profileBelow is the time-line of my achievements, It is quite a read, but I aims to reveal my potential.
Writing has always been my passion; my expression, skill and my art. I had an interest in writing from an early age. It was a great satisfaction to know that I could make a career of it.
I am a self-motivated individual who is a natural born leader. I am able to work in a group and independently. I am a go-getter who is goal-driven and ambitious. If faced with challenges, I view them not as obstacles but as a character building experience, from which I quickly learn and grow.
I started writing for a local newspaper in Springs when I was still in high school (2003-Grade 10). I did this on weekends and holidays. I then furthered my studies at Varsity College and obtained my Diploma in Journalism.
When I reached tertiary my lecturer who was also the Editor of Weekend Mirror requested that I be one of the story contributors for the publication. In the interim I continued being a non-official journalist for my local paper. On the 3rd of November 2008 I was appointed as a permanent employee for this same local paper, immediately after writing my final tertiary exams.
For stories submitted from my local paper, I obtained an award at the 2009 Sanlam Community Press Awards in which I was a runner up for the Best Human Interest category. I also ranked sixth in the Sports writing category. I achieved these awards having been a first time entrant. I have also been featured in a local community magazine and local radio station a few times.
In 2011 I went to work for Eskom at their PTM communication department as a trainee for 12 months as per the contract agreement.
I single handedly managed the department's website and also ensured that Eskom's Corporate Identity was correct across all communications. I had no knowledge of the business, but quickly learnt in order to execute my duties with excellence, and to ensure a pleasing performance outcome.
In 2013 I started attending business seminars which dealt with marketing and branding and writing a book. I took all that I learnt and have since written a book which I am not yet in a rush to get published.
I shortly worked for two other Caxton publications: The Bedfordview and Edenvale newspaper and the Joburg East Express newspaper in 2014.
In the same year I landed my current position as a Media Specialist at the Speaker's Officer for the City of Johannesburg, under the Institutional Support Directorate for the DA Unit.
I am always eager for opportunities that bring growth and skills development, which is why I am now lecturing Business Communications at Wits Plus.
