I am a Coloured female aged 32, born in our beautiful country of South Africa. I enjoy a challenge and always look forward to being challenged. I strive on putting GOD first in my life and then my family. My happiest times are when I am with my family and when I have blessed someone or a person who is less fortunate than I am. I am passionate about encouraging young adults in excelling in their future. We have what is called a Winter School for the under privileged kids that is held every year at my company. My role is to encourage and inspire these kids in becoming good role models to society.
Between the ages of 9 and 16years old, I undertook in the following activities namely ballet, modelling, modern/cabaret dancing and speech and drama. Unfortunately I did not pursue any of these activities because at the age of 17, I fell pregnant with my daughter Jose` who is now 14 years of age. This was an enormous challenge that I had to face. I started working in the retail field and studied part-time. Eventually I re-located to Johannesburg in 2000 and decided to make a life here for Jose and myself. The hardest part for me was leaving her in Durban with my parents until I had established myself. With determination and sacrifices, Jose was back in January 2003.
I am currently employed for a company called Air Traffic and Navigational Services (ATNS), employed for 4 years as a Buyer/Financial Administrator. I have recently graduated with a degree in Procurement Management and Supply Chain. I also have a diploma in bookkeeping. I believe knowledge is power.
While employed with ATNS I got married on 19/11/2004 and had my second daughter, Jasmin, on January 2nd 2006.
I constantly thank GOD for the achievements in my life and for the challenges that lie ahead. My future plans are to be a buyer in the retail industry since I have a flair for fashion.
