Tourism Management Diploma - CPUT, Certificate in Bookkeeping and Sage Pastel Accounting Software - Varsity College

I started in the Tourism Industry creating customized tour packages for international clients as well as managing the accommodation and travel itineraries for high profile delegates for an International Oil Conference held once a year in Cape Town.

I then changed career paths by becoming a PA/ Office Administrator in a respected Quantity Surveying company for a number of years until I started our family.

This was a turning point for me as I wanted the best of both worlds, to be a working mom but also to have quality time with my young family, so I completed a Bookkeeping and Pastel course at Varsity College and then started working half days as a bookkeeper - which has been the best decision I have made!
