I have been in the industry for 8 years now, started my career at Glacier by Sanlam and I am still with them. I started off in the Client Services department as a processing consultant and am now a Business Development Manager in the Sales and Distribution team. I look after intermediaries in the Western Cape and parts of the Eastern Cape, with a specific focus on our Life Investments solution range.
I have attained a Bachelor of Commerce degree in Economics at the University of the Western Cape and a Postgraduate Diploma in Financial Planning at the Milpark Business School.
The intention is to obtain my Certified Financial Planning qualification, later this year.
Educating people on their finances, especially those previously disadvantaged, has always been a passion of mine. I feel that if they knew just a little bit more about the finance world, they will be able to make better decisions. With that said, I myself am still exploring this industry. Having mainly being exposed to the investment world in my career thus far, I am eager to further explore other part of this industry.
Personally, I have just become a mother. My daughter is 5 months old and I am enjoying every moment of this new chapter in my life. I’ve come to enjoy public speaking, the more I do and this has also sparked a big interest in the media space. I see myself hosting a finance show on some platform one day. I’m a people’s person, I love meeting people with good energy.
I am very excited to join this network of like-minded woman. I hope to be inspired and the renew my passion for the finance world.
