Summary

I have completed and graduated from my four year Physiotherapy degree program from Sefako Makgatho University(MEDUNSA) in 2017 I then began working as a community service physiotherapist. During this period, I managed to accumulate a composite set of skills throughout my service. Post my community service, I then worked permanently full-time as a physiotherapist for five years. Within the five years I ventured in other areas of my profession such as in mining, sporting teams, private sectors, sporting events, running my own practice and completing short coarses and webinars around Physiotherapy and ancillary skills. I had the opportunity to supervise incoming community service physiotherapists, set out a couple of duties that required leadership and good interpersonal skills. I have learned to deal with pressure, manage conflict and recuperate the team.


I engage in a few set of hobbies, interests and extracurricular activities. I enjoy watching educational videos and programs, play games and interact with people in trying to give them life related solutions to their problems. Furthermore, I enjoy laughter, so I engage in sharing of hilarious content. I also attend concerts and shows, with special interest in comedy and spirituality. My daily routine entails going to work, gym or church, socializing and engaging in my hobbies. Gym is my panacea. I get to also relate and understand at firsthand what it is like for patients given exercise programs.


I believe I fit well with my profession.

I have all it takes and more to encompass my niche in this field and to serve those in need of my services, making a solid change in empowering company visions while I pave my own.
