Get to Know Me
Originally from Cape Town, and after completing a Bachelor of Commerce at Stellenbosch University, I spent 15 years living and working abroad where I travelled extensively and developed a diverse skill set across multiple industries, which I believe gives me a valuable global perspective in my roles as a sales and rental agent. My career journey has been anything but conventional—from teaching English in Japan, an experience that reshaped my worldview, to working as a personal chef for internationally recognised celebrities. Seeking financial stability, I then spent over eight years in the banking sector, before my entrepreneurial drive led me back to the food industry. Together with my husband, I invested in and successfully managed two cafés, first in the UK and later in George, South Africa, after returning home. Alongside this, hands-on involvement in several home renovation projects naturally drew me into the property industry, where I gained practical experience in sales and rentals with an agency in George. Now based in Nottingham Road, I am embracing a rewarding village-style lifestyle. Years spent in high-pressure environments have shaped my strong commercial acumen, interpersonal skills, calm, solutions-driven approach and pride in delivering quality service. I look forward to guiding clients with insight, energy, and personal commitment along their property journey.
