I am well-travelled and have an experience in the tourism industry working for several companies within southern Africa including National Geographic and G Adventures. Leading tours, entertaining guests but also running complex budgets. Being responsible for fulfilling company goals in sustainability, social entrepreneurship, community tourism, and various customer experience services. That led me to grow up to the level where I became a mentor to the new crew and became an ambassador of culture within the organization which led me to go to countries like the USA, Turkey, Israel, and Kenya as a cultural ambassador training the new crew in those regions on global engagement. That growth led me to work in Berlin as an operations apprentice doing pre-season checks, actioning reservations, validations, and invoice checks. Now living in The Netherlands furthering my career but also being close to my family. In the meantime, I have studied Project Management, Monitoring, and Evaluation and because of my passion for sustainability, and community improvement, I am studying towards attaining a Bachelor of Social Science Honours in Development Studies and am going into the final year. I am currently working at Wilde Ganzen part time as a Project Officer and my contracts ends July 31st 2024.

Ervaring
.As a project advisor, I analyse project applications, offering strategic advice, guiding and supporting project implementation, amongst many other roles. These initiatives are setup by local handlers together with Dutch foundations and range from healthcare, education, food security , and climate. With budgets as little as 5000 euros to as high as 300 000 euros, I engage in the comprehensive evaluation of each project, ensuring alignment with our mission and objectives. Beyond analysing projects, my role extends to coordinating online training sessions, developing and delivering linking and learning programmes with our partners which serves a catalyst for collaboration and helps with sharing of best practices and mutual learning. Through these endeavours , I have gained invaluable insights into the projects that I analyse , enabling me to approach each initiative with a well-informed perspective.
