I pride myself on delivering work of a high quality. Developing in a professional and an individual capacity are important aspects to me. I believe that my teaching philosophy, research and community engagement support my envisaged move to an Associate Professor role. I align my teaching, research and community engagement with the need to: “cultivate a socially responsive, people-centred approach through education and research and critical engagement on important matters” (UWC, 2021).

​I have worked in industries in various professions for ten years, thereby applying my theoretical knowledge, learning and practical skills to my teaching. My specialist areas include risk-, quality-, project- and knowledge management; business analysis and testing. I am a certified project manager and tester as well as having experience in several industries such as financial services, retail and auditing. This has aided my curriculum redesign for all of the courses that I teach. Course updates included the latest industry standards, such as Unified Modelling Language for Business Analysis, Business Model Canvas and Design Thinking for IS Strategy Formulation and Social Architecture for Enterprise Architecture and Infrastructure Management.

My professional portfolio includes the following areas:

• Teaching and learning,

• Research 

• Leadership and 

• Community Engagement.

My goals include the following:

• Teaching and learning

International collaboration for the application of ICT in an educational context. The goal is to provide the opportunity to expand the current curriculum to be more student-centric in different contexts. 

International collaboration with one of our global partners with a focus on marginalised groups in another context.

I plan to apply for the University of Missouri South African Education Program (UMSAEP) to assist me in achieving this goal.  

• Research goals

I intend to apply for NRF rating in 2024, supported by my NRF Black Academic Advancement Programme and increased research output.

• Institutional leadership

I would like to apply for a more senior role such as Deputy Dean Teaching and Learning.
