About

Professional summary

I am a relationship-driven partnerships and community engagement professional with over four years of experience in stakeholder engagement, outreach, community building, strategic communications, and event coordination.

I have developed trusted relationships with clients, service providers, senior stakeholders, community organisations, pastors, ministry leaders, and volunteer teams. I communicate clearly and professionally across phone, email, LinkedIn, and in-person channels.

I am experienced in building partnership pipelines from initial research and cold outreach through relationship nurturing, follow-up, CRM activity tracking, and reporting. I enjoy identifying opportunities, creating meaningful connections, and helping initiatives grow through sustained engagement.

My experience at the High Commission of Canada strengthened my ability to manage sensitive communications, maintain accurate records, analyse regional trends, and provide clear recommendations under strict deadlines. I bring discretion, organisation, and analytical thinking to stakeholder-facing work.

I am passionate about faith and family-friendly media and actively serve on a church media team, creating promotional content and supporting congregation-wide initiatives. I am comfortable working independently in remote environments and collaborating across distributed teams.

I am currently completing a Master of Management in Governance and Management at the University of the Witwatersrand. I am motivated by opportunities to build authentic partnerships and contribute to mission-driven, early-stage, and community-focused organisations.
