My Story

I have 16 years of business development experience of working with SMEs through my work with The Norwegian Embassy in South Africa. I've worked across diverse nations in countries such as South Africa, Norway, Ireland and the UK. My background includes conducting market research and sector studies, partner searches and networking initiatives promoting business and culture. I enjoy varied projects and challenges and I place a strong focus on customer expectations and delivering a competent service. Having project managed internship programmes with the University of Oslo and placed students to work at SMEs to learn about entrepreneurship, my skills are in business, networking and project coordination. I am passionate about youth development and believe that mentorship will be even more vital in time to come.
