Services provided

My career in the social justice sector has spanned 20 years. During this time, I have made substantial contributions to youth employment / employability, trauma recovery in vulnerable communities, mental health and wellness and the gender-based violence (GBV) response sectors. I am deeply committed to the restoration of human rights, advancement of mental wellness and extinction of gender-based violence in all sectors of society. 

Most recently, I have contributed to the South African Presidential Summit on GBVF 2 and created the world's first GBVF response-focused, digital, multi-media magazine. My strengths lie in strategic leadership, impact measurement and reporting (with baseline), research, leadership development, problem-solving and innovation. My qualifications include a BA in Sociology and Psychology (cum Laude); MDP Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment (BBBEE Technical Consultant); and MA Social Impact Assessment (Current candidate - thesis pending). At present, I am the CEO of the Mental Wellness Initiative and Editor in Chief of Collective Action Magazine.
