In the words of Maya Angelou, my mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humour, and some style.I create lasting, valuable connections between South Africa’s premier skin and body care brands and high-end distribution partners worldwide.

This set a valuable foundation of how to exceed guest experiences in all aspects of the hospitality industry, a principle which I carry with me to this day.My love for travel and constant change propelled me into my role as International Business Development professional and Key Account Manager of direct and indirect distribution and wholesale accounts at LS Enterprises.I am involved in both B2B and B2C marketing aspects and boast more than 10 years’ experience of helping my brand partners grow by providing results-orientated brand support and valuable exposure at international trade shows.
