From the North West Province to a Career in EdTech South Africa
I will never forget my first day at LRMG. It will remain a highlight to the start of an amazing part of my career journey. I was warmly welcomed into the LRMG fold, my name displayed on the welcome board, a beautiful red rose, delicious chocolate and a personalised note, elegantly and stylishly presented to me on a welcome plate. It made me feel incredibly special and I could feel the warmth and love of the company.
My journey since then has been one of immense upliftment, support and growth. In practice, it is a wonderful reflection of LRMG’s brand values being truly lived, in a natural and authentic manner.
To be a part of such a purposeful, driven and elite organisation has always been a lifetime dream of mine. Specifically, I grew up in Mafeking in the North West Province, determined to make a success of my life. I received great support from my mom and dad, as well as all my teachers and the community. As a result, I have always had a burning desire within me to help others succeed, especially those affected by poverty and those without access to an education.
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”
I am ignited and excited each morning when I wake up to be a part of LRMG.
Most importantly, I am grateful to be of dedicated service and support to our clients and partners and colleagues too.
LRMG has truly allowed my soul, mindset and spirit to be awakened beyond measure. In addition, I find myself living out my true purpose and dreams of impacting others in a meaningful way every day. I have found my home and my family.
My heart is filled with gratitude and immense joy to be able to do what I do each day.
May the love and warmth shown to me at the start of my career journey continue to shine from within me as true and authentic love, compassion and care for each person I engage with daily.
