I am the Founder of the Edusmart Group of Schools. If I had to embark on this journey of making a difference in the lives of neurodivergent learners again, I would! I live with gratitude, purpose, passion, dedication and one goal in mind: changing the educational landscape of our diverse country with a visionary hybrid model that inspires true learning. Since 2019 when we started with one school and 9 learners, we have grown to three schools, and today call 160 learners SMARTIES. These learners have found their educational niche, safe spaces in which they can thrive. To God be the Glory!

I am the General Manager of the Edusmart Group of Schools. I have seen the schools grow from our home to where we are today. In 2024 I joined the Group after many years of managing my own business in the IT industry. Our children are the future leaders, voters, employers, entrepreneurs…they will have to carry our beautiful country into the future – better make sure they are educated, trained and provided with the necessary resources so they can do it and make us proud!

As the Executive Head of Edusmart Academy and Edusmart College, I believe that communication is KEY. Open and honest communication creates a sanctuary for all that is part of the Edusmart Family. Unity is created when positive cooperation and teamwork are encouraged. Kindness and love cost nothing. See with your heart!

I was placed on this earth to serve. It is my passion to help others. My motto is “If you don’t ask, you will never know” and if I don’t know I will always find out for you. I love being able to serve my colleagues, parents and most importantly these amazing learners. I am responsible for the smooth running of the daily program at Edusmart Academy and Edusmart College.

I am passionate about teaching each child according to their individual potential and believe that every learner is uniquely gifted.

Small in size but big in heart, I’m an outdoor-loving teacher that turns every lesson into an adventure for children. Whether hiking trails or helping young minds grow, I bring kindness, and fun to the classroom. With a love for nature and a passion for teaching, I make learning feel like a sunny day outdoors.

I am passionate about meeting each child exactly where they are and helping them grow to their full potential.

Considering my age and where I reside, I should be in a rocking chair with my knitting and a pot of tea. Instead, I am at Edusmart because I truly love what I do, and I find my remedial teaching position both meaningful and deeply satisfying. I am old-school in both my teaching and my everyday life, and my dedication to helping learners’ progress has never faded.

I am the Academic Head of Edusmart College. I have known since I was a little girl that I wanted to become a teacher one day. I am happy to say that I still arrive at school with a smile and joy in my heart. I love what I do and would like to be involved with children and education for as long as I am capable. I am a sports fanatic and rarely miss a rugby game of my favourite Stormers or Springboks. Also tennis, cricket, netball, swimming, F1-racing, but these days only as a spectator! I find my second career at Edusmart very rewarding. I enjoy the team spirit of my inspiring colleagues and the fact that the leadership is clear and inclusive.

I’ve been proud to grow with Edusmart from day one and today I am HOD of our CAPS Grade 6–8 curriculum with a focus on making learning dynamic and engaging. Teaching Natural Sciences allows me to channel my own adventurous spirit into the classroom, where I thrive on creating fun, memorable lessons that inspire students to reach their full potential. I ’m a massive outdoor enthusiast who loves a challenge – the more active and adventurous, the better. For me, life and education are all about the experiences we chase and the connections we make along the way.

I love teaching English and Social Sciences. When I am not working I thoroughly enjoy being outdoors, whether it’s taking long walks on the beach, hiking our beautiful mountains or exploring the pristine wine estates in our area. I am addicted to coffee, so you can find me cafe-hopping all over town. My life motto has always been “Dream, Believe, Achieve”.

I am the homeroom teacher for the Online Junior learners. I have made it my personal mission to support those who are unable to help themselves, and I strive to embody this commitment daily in the lives of my learners.

Outside of teaching, I enjoy staying active through exercise, spending quality time with my loved ones, and exploring new places through travel.​

As a Maths teacher I’ve always had the passion to bring numbers and problem solving as a positive desire in children’s lives. I cherish the opportunity to teach these skills to the learners, and also to help them grow and become the best versions of themselves. I believe in a well balanced lifestyle, therefore a cup of coffee makes me smile, beach walks and jogs give me joy and playing drums in church on Sundays satisfies the soul. “Enter to learn and leave to serve” is a mantra close to my heart.
