My journey in education began in 1996 when I founded a small pre-school in Barberton. What started as a modest venture with a handful of young learners soon blossomed into a thriving primary school. Through commitment, care, and a strong focus on quality education, the school grew significantly, eventually serving 300 enthusiastic learners. Those formative years taught me the immense value of creating a nurturing environment where children can build confidence and develop a genuine love for learning.

In 2011, I relocated to Ballito. For the next four years, I immersed myself in homeschooling, providing individualised instruction and personalised academic support to my own children and those of friends and learners. This experience further refined my ability to teach a variety of High School subjects. Following that, I joined Destiny Life Academy High School, where I taught Afrikaans to students in Grades 8 through 12. Guiding teenagers through this important stage of their academic journey was incredibly rewarding, as I helped them not only master the language but also develop greater self-assurance and communication skills. In 2023, I relocated to Richards Bay and was appointed Principal of Rainbows End Pre-School under RBBC. Leading the pre-school allowed me to return to the vital early childhood development phase, reinforcing my belief in the importance of strong foundational learning from the earliest years.Then, at the beginning of 2026, I was introduced to the KUMON programme. This marked the start of an exciting new chapter that has deeply inspired and energised me. KUMON’s emphasis on self learning, discipline, mastery of fundamentals, and individual progress aligns perfectly with my educational philosophy and lifelong commitment to making a meaningful, lasting difference in the lives of children and even adults.

While the development and nurturing of young minds has always been my greatest passion, I also cherish creative outlets. I enjoy art and love to paint, exploring everything from vibrant abstract works to peaceful seascapes and scenic landscapes. I am a lifelong learner who never grows tired of acquiring new knowledge. Whether it’s a fresh educational approach or an interesting topic that captures my curiosity, I am always eager to grow and discover.At the heart of my life is my faith in my Lord and Saviour, who guides me daily, and my two beautiful grown children, who remain my greatest blessings and source of immense pride.
