Year Experience

I am a diligent university student with self-drive and a gulf of eagerness’. I obtained my Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature and Psychology from Eduvos University (formerly known as Pearson Institute of Higher Education). I am currently enrolled at Thompson River University, studying a post-baccalaureate in Liberal arts. Motivation, steady work ethic and determination are some of the things you will instantly notice about me. My ability to learn from my environment, solve abstract problems and steadfast approach to committing myself to the task at hand will make up for my lack of experience. I do, however, have work experience: I worked at Hamleys Fourways for a month but had to leave due to the calamities of the covid-19 pandemic. In my former role at Hamleys, I was in charge of assisting customers in selecting the appropriate products and rendering superior customer service. I frequently received praise for my excellent work ethic and sales. I aggressively sought out the guidance of senior team members, and I was open to the information they shared with me. I am able to adjust to shifting market conditions and have handled difficult sales scenarios including negotiating intricate contracts and managing significant accounts successfully. I also have experience in graphic design: I designed a logo for Si Spa (a local beauty spa in Gaborone, Botswana). I did volunteer work for an orphanage called Kasipiti Children’s Home in Zimbabwe. I started my service there in February and finished in September.

For eight fulfilling months, I served as an assistant teacher at Kasipiti Children's Home, a beacon of hope for orphaned children. In this nurturing environment, I had the privilege of working closely with these resilient youngsters, offering them not only education but also a sense of belonging and support. Each day was a new opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of these children. As an assistant teacher, I collaborated with the lead educators to develop engaging lesson plans tailored to the unique needs and interests of the students. Whether teaching basic literacy and numeracy skills or exploring the wonders of the world through science and art, my goal was to ignite their curiosity and foster a love for learning. Beyond academics, I provided emotional support and guidance, serving as a mentor and confidante to the children. Many of them faced profound challenges and traumas, and I was dedicated to creating a safe and nurturing space where they felt valued and empowered to thrive. I cherished the moments of laughter and joy shared in the classroom, as well as the quieter, more intimate interactions where I could offer comfort and encouragement to those in need. Witnessing their growth and resilience filled me with immense pride and reaffirmed my commitment to making a difference in their lives. My time at Kasipiti Children's Home was not just a job; it was a deeply rewarding experience that enriched my own life in countless ways. I am grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of their journey, and I carry the lessons learned and memories made with me always.
