I am a third-year student at the University of Johannesburg (UJ) at the faculty of Education, majoring in Economics (Degree) and Business Management. For the past years, I have grown passionately about Economic, Education and Entrepreneurship and I am ready to take theoretical knowledge into real-life practice to create an impactful environment.
I have also extended my skills beyond the classroom and ventured into graphical designing, language learning and digital literacy which helps in problem solving in my field and communication with students and other individuals.
My teaching approach is based on the collaboration and communication as key skills for the 21st century. I have adopted Group Work and Active Learning as my Learner-centered teaching method. Technology integration allows me to be creative in lesson planning and delivery in the classroom.
My goal is to educate students about content that is relative to their everyday life and boast their confidence in economic participation and decision making, allowing them to become better individuals that can solve their own problems.
My interests range from photography to design (Canva). I am also interested in education, writing, and entrepreneurship. I am fluent in English, Sepedi (Home language) and isiZulu.
My work experience includes casual sales assistance at Fila (2023 -2024) and Footgear (2025).
