Project Manager@Oppie Tong Af/ On The Tip Of Your Tongue
Verified
With over a decade of experience working at the intersection of education, storytelling, and large-scale coordination, I bring a dynamic and people-focused approach to everything I do. My work spans national initiatives, live and virtual events, stakeholder engagement, and communication strategy, always grounded in the goal of connecting people and amplifying voices.
Since 2015, I’ve led a national youth leadership and public speaking initiative that reaches more than 6,000 students annually across South Africa. What began as a fully in-person program evolved under my leadership into a live online experience, and now operates as a hybrid model, expanding accessibility while preserving the value of in-person connection. From managing nationwide participation to coordinating a large-scale national final event with hundreds of attendees, I’ve developed a strong ability to seamlessly integrate digital systems with real-world experiences.
Beyond events, I’ve designed and delivered rural outreach programs, built relationships with sponsors and partners, and overseen projects from concept through to reporting. My broader background includes hospitality leadership, HR and payroll administration, and education operations, giving me a well-rounded and adaptable skill set.
I’m a systematic and solutions-oriented worker who thrives in both online and in-person environments. I use digital tools not just for efficiency, but to foster collaboration, streamline processes, and create meaningful engagement. At the heart of my work is a commitment to building structures that support people and ensuring that important stories are heard where they matter most.More...
