About

I am an experienced and adaptable professional with a background in teaching English and Afrikaans at both primary and high school levels, alongside leadership roles such as subject head, extracurricular coordination, and event planning. I have honed strong communication, organisation, and team collaboration skills, working across diverse learning environments. After several years dedicated to raising my family, I am now seeking career opportunities in the Netherlands that leverage my language proficiency, administrative abilities, and people-oriented mindset. I am open to roles in education, office administration, client services, or content moderation, and I’m eager to contribute to a team-oriented organisation.
