Show profile Hide profileAt present I am not fully employed and work on a freelance and contract basis. This allows me to tap into my own innovation. I am however employable.
After obtaining my undergraduate (BA Humanities), I commenced my corporate career in the Communication Centre of Sanlam, in 2004. Here my responsibilities varied, from administrative assistant to specialist service provider. In 2006 I received the Excellence Award, a CEO award. For the last four years, until end August 2011, my role was Communications Specialist - Technical Writer. Employed by Glacier by Sanlam, my role within the company was multi-faceted. As chairperson of corporate social investment, I was responsible to manage the team and the events. I was also involved in training and development of employees, in conjunction with Human Resource Development. I completed my honours Psychology in 2011.
Throughout my corporate career (and before), psychology and community development was my after hours career. My community involvement includes, teaching dance and drama to children and youth groups in church, volunteering at a children's home, and outreach programmes to Pollsmoor prison.
During 2011 I expanded my writing ability, contributing as a freelance writer to a quarterly magazine, Beyond. In addition to completing my honours, I received Gestalt Play Therapy training from well-known play therapist, Dr Hannie Schoeman. Towards the end of last year, I acted as co-facilitator with Wafaa Abdurahman, of Qualitative HRD Solutions on a temporary basis.
I have exceptional language abilities, with fluency in English, Afrikaans and Sign language, and limited fluency in, Xhosa and German.
My love for dance and curiosity around movement therapy I have been inspired to develop a series of programmes. One of which is, Movement-connect; combining movement with the principles of gestalt and human centred approaches. My work is to facilitate individuals in finding and understanding their own processes, so to live a better and fruitful life. It is not to be seen as a therapeutic intervention.

The greatest portion of my experience as a dancer is, interpretive dance. I enjoy mixing dance styles, hence my infatuation for the postmodern dance form. It allows a certain freedom in dance and movement. Choreography is therefore one of my finest passions. More recently, my dance experience also includes contemporary dance, latin and ballroom.
