In 2015 I completed the Programme for Management Development (PMD) at the reputable Gordon Institute of Business Science (GIBS) with the main goal of broadening my understanding of the various disciplines that exist within a business. The programme assisted me not only in gaining the understanding I fervently required but it also developed my leadership, innovation and project management skills. I now have a better grasp of the current and future global economic and social environment
In 2008 I completed my BA degree in Corporate Communication at the University of Johannesburg (APK), with Psychology and Marketing Communication as my majors. This is a multi-faceted degree that does not only focus on the basic uses of communication in an organisation but on communication as a tool within every company its stakeholders, its departments, project etc. In essence, it is the management of a company’s corporate image from within, maintaining a great company culture and carrying that great aspect out externally and with the media at all times.
