As the Virtual Assistant Mentorship Lead at ALX South Africa, I’ve been responsible for guiding and supporting hundreds of students as they navigate the ALX VA program. My role is all about making sure learners don’t just start the program — they stay engaged, grow, and finish strong.

I host weekly group mentorship sessions, offer tailored one-on-one check-ins, and design resources that help students hit key milestones like portfolio building, job readiness, and client engagement. I also collaborate with ALX staff and community leads to improve retention, drive fellowship pod participation, and increase traffic to our local hub.

My mentorship approach focuses on practical support, career alignment, and confidence-building. I’ve helped students land volunteer roles, secure freelance gigs, and prepare for interviews — while identifying and developing standout talent to join my initiatives, such as Talent Pathways Africa.

As an Outreach and Recruitment Intern at the African Leadership University (ALU), I had the opportunity to represent one of Africa’s most innovative institutions. My role involved connecting with prospective students, sharing ALU’s unique value, and guiding them through the application journey.

I engaged directly with high school students, parents, and community partners — both online and at events — to promote ALU's mission of developing ethical and entrepreneurial African leaders. I also collaborated with internal teams to organize info sessions, build outreach strategies, and manage communication pipelines.

That experience strengthened my public speaking, interpersonal, and marketing skills — and gave me a deeper understanding of what it means to inspire young people to take charge of their future. It’s also where I learned how to listen, lead with authenticity, and communicate impact in a way that moves people to action.

Remote Call Center Representative. In that role, I handled both inbound and outbound calls, supported customers with technical and service-related issues, and contributed to marketing and sales campaigns. It taught me how to listen actively, solve problems quickly, and represent a brand with professionalism — skills I now apply across all my projects.
