How I Can Support Your Growth?
Leadership Development and Strategy
With over a decade of experience, I specialise in equipping individuals and teams with the skills and frameworks to lead with confidence and purpose. As Chairperson of the Institutional Forum at Stellenbosch University, I championed initiatives that prioritised inclusive governance, amplified underrepresented voices, and drove strategic alignment. These efforts cultivated a culture of collaboration and institutional excellence.
Organisational Transformation
I have a proven track record of leading systemic change to address critical challenges within organisations. As a Council Member at Stellenbosch University, I played a pivotal role in developing and implementing the Institutional Transformation Policy and Plan, ensuring alignment with equity and inclusion objectives. My work contributed to creating a more adaptive and equitable academic environment, fostering long-term institutional success.
Learning and Development
My passion for education strategy is exemplified by my leadership in curriculum redesign projects, including the transformation of Stellenbosch University’s MBChB program. By integrating innovative teaching methodologies and addressing the healthcare needs of South Africa, I created a curriculum that balances technical expertise with holistic, patient-centered care.
Project Management
From leading multi-faceted projects to coordinating international research teams, I have demonstrated exceptional project management skills. Notably, I co-led a COVID-19 impact study that resulted in three peer-reviewed publications exploring online learning, productivity, and mental well-being in higher education. These projects showcased my ability to manage complexity and deliver results with precision.
Collaboration and Stakeholder Engagement
My expertise in fostering meaningful collaboration is rooted in my extensive work with the Institutional Forum at Stellenbosch University. I navigated complex stakeholder landscapes, engaging internal groups such as faculty, students, and staff, while forging partnerships with external civic organisations and government bodies. This work was instrumental in driving policy reforms and achieving broader organisational goals, including the implementation of transformation initiatives and strategic governance frameworks. By aligning diverse interests and building consensus, I ensured sustainable progress toward inclusive and equitable outcomes.
