Words to live by
My journey with SAWomEng started in 2007 when I was selected to attend the first national conference as a delegate. In 2009, I joined the organisation as Events Coordinator as part of the Conference Executive for
2010. This amazing and exciting journey continues as I now take on the role of Conference Coordinator for
the 2011 conference.

I love being part of positive change. I have had and still have the privilege of being surrounded by inspiring
and influential women. I am therefore very grateful to be part of a movement that creates this platform for
others. My greatest endeavour in life is to create a better version of myself, everyday. I achieve this by
trying to live freely, peacefully & humbly.
