Co-Facilitator & Research Assistant at Alan J. Flisher Centre for Public Mental Health (UCT Faculty)

Facilitating with piloting a research project designed by The World Health Organisation. Early Adolescent Skills for Emotions (EASE) program aims to support 10 to 14-year olds with internalising problems (e.g. symptoms of depression, anxiety, distress). Aims to improve the mental health of young adolescents living in adversity, and to improve their caregivers’ skills to support them.

School Counsellor at Table View High School

In this role, I provided both individual and group counselling to adolescents, supporting them through challenges such as family and relationship difficulties, bereavement, anger management, trauma, self-harm, suicidal ideation, and substance use prevention. I created a safe and therapeutic space that fostered emotional growth and resilience.

I also designed and facilitated psychoeducational workshops on stress management, coping strategies, and career guidance—empowering students to make informed decisions and manage academic and personal stressors effectively.

In collaboration with the school community, I developed educational resources including infographics on ADHD and ADD to enhance awareness among parents and staff, and compiling a comprehensive manual to assist educators and caregivers in supporting learners with diverse needs.

Additionally, I conducted psychometric assessments—including subject choice and career assessments—providing valuable insights that informed tailored support and intervention strategies.

Experience with students in schools across the globe

Educator & International ESL Teacher (2017–2022)

Over the course of five years, I gained diverse teaching experience both locally and abroad across various age groups and educational settings. Thus, I bring a unique blend of teaching and psychology expertise to support youth through various challenges.

I began as a high school English teacher at Beaconhouse Yamsaard in Hua Hin, Thailand, where I taught English literature and language to adolescents. This was followed by ESL tutoring at The Language Guild and a core teaching role at Kentridge Education Hub, where I supported learners in foundational subjects.

My international experience expanded at EtonHouse International in Singapore, where I worked as a kindergarten teacher, developing early literacy, social-emotional, and inquiry-based learning in a Reggio-inspired environment.

Locally, in South Africa, I worked as an online tutor at Masterplan AcadeME, delivering tailored academic support to primary and secondary students, with a strong focus on language development, exam preparation, and fostering independent learning skills in an online environment.
