Summary

Hi, I'm Jaz, a natural people person, creative by nature and outside of the box thinker developed through corporate nurture. Growing up a competitive horse rider, I became an instructor which has taught me invaluable skills. With transferrable skills from varying industries, lived experience and career development, aligning purpose with passion throughout my working history, I have learnt how to preempt environment, communicate with all walks of life (2 legs or 4, tail or wings), irrespective of culture, city & class, CEO level or criminal past. Evolving with a unique foresight and deep insight, creating a willingness in preventing hindsight. Passionate about photography, cycling, singing and horses, one has lived many lives for one life.
