A defining moment in my career
The most defining moment in my career so far was the opportunity to present and be a style expert for the global hit makeover show 10 Years Younger which was broadcast at primetime on Channel 4 in the UK. The premise of the show was to make people look at least ten years younger than the age the public guessed they were at the start of the show.

My role was to give each candidate a complete makeover from head to toe as well as support them through their transformation journey. The show was hugely successful and was broadcast around the world, including South Africa.

It was an opportunity that came out of the blue when I set up my style consultancy in 2001, a testament to the fact that when you follow your dream and do something you love, good things happen.

    The Wits Business School has played an incredibly important role in shaping not just my career but also much of the person I am today. There have been several defining moments in my career, but undoubtedly the moment that stands out was when I was enrolled on the Management Advancement Programme (MAP) in 2008 with classmates a lot more senior and experienced than me.

    In February of 2014, I joined a small consulting organisation as a senior project manager, immediately after I had completed my MBA. The organisation was in a start-up phase, had been in existence for about 18 months and formed part of a global corporation with the aim of establishing regional offices around the globe.
