About

I am a 22 year old with a passion for Sports and Marketing. I have recently completed a BCom Recreation and Sports Management degree at the University of Pretoria, majoring in Marketing Management and am currently completing my BCom Honours in Markeitng and Business Management. I also have both my BokSmart qualification as well as my IRB (World Rugby) Level 1 coaching course. I have gained experience in working for the Blue Bulls Rugby Union in areas such as: web and social media marketing, report writing, event planning and control, project brainstorming and team management. I also managed the University of Pretoria under 21 Rugby Team, which further increased my knowledge on team management. I am a very hard working person, with patience and a determination to succeed in life. I like to be challenged to new ways of thinking and feel that I am a quick learner that is able to adapt to new situations quickly. I consider myself a very outgoing and positive person and I enjoy working in a team environment.
