About me

Hi there,

I’m first and foremost a LinkedIn professional with extensive experience in profile optimization, growth strategy, content creation, and targeted engagement. I've successfully built and managed both inbound and outbound campaigns, helping clients boost their visibility, generate leads, and grow their brands. With years of hands-on experience, I’ve come to deeply understand the LinkedIn algorithm—what works, what doesn’t, and how to stand out in a crowded space.

Backed by an N3 in Business Management and over 20 years of experience in administration and management, I bring a strong foundation in operations, structure, and client service. My work with major South African companies like Pepkor has shaped my ability to thrive in high-pressure environments, always delivering quality results on time.

I'm also highly skilled in data research, entry, and database creation—building robust, accurate, and well-organized databases from scratch using Excel and Google Sheets. My attention to detail and analytical mindset ensure that every dataset I handle is both reliable and actionable.

In addition, proofreading and editing are key strengths. I've helped authors refine their books and business owners polish their messaging to ensure clarity, consistency, and flow. Whether it's a 500-word story or a full-length manuscript, I focus on grammar, readability, tone, and structure to bring out the best in any piece of writing.

What sets me apart is my maturity, discipline, and unwavering commitment to excellence. I’m highly organized, detail-oriented, and known for my ability to work independently while consistently delivering high-quality work on time.

I also have a passion for teaching and hold a Level 3 Certificate in TEFL from The TEFL Academy. I’ve taught Business Studies, Consumer Studies, Social Science, Economics, and Technology to learners aged 12–18, always striving to make learning engaging and impactful.

When I’m not working, you’ll find me enjoying the outdoors with my family and our dogs, Nala and Tilly, exploring new recipes, or unwinding with a good series like Vikings or The Handmaid’s Tale.
