After five enriching years as the Directorate's Office Manager, I stepped into a new role on 1 January 2024, embracing the position of Student Recruitment Officer with vigour and enthusiasm. As a young adult, my spirit is fuelled by the transformative power of education and a contagious zest for life. My passion includes igniting curiosity and ambition in young minds and showcasing the rich, diverse opportunities that education, particularly at UFS, unfolds.
As an ambassador of UFS, I am privileged to connect with the future changemakers across Bloemfontein, the Eastern Free State, Kwa Zulu Natal, North West, and Gauteng Province. My journey takes me through these vibrant provinces, where I engage with learners from Grade 9 to Grade 12. Speaking five languages, I bridge cultures and communities, weaving a narrative of hope and empowerment through education.
I draw my inspiration from the words of our beloved Dr. Nelson Mandela: 'Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world.' These words are not just a motto for me; they are a lived experience. Through education, I have witnessed my own growth and development, a testament to its transformative power.
I am thrilled to engage with you, share our vision, and embark on a journey of discovery and growth together. Welcome to Kovsies, where your future begins to unfold in the most remarkable ways.
