My name is Snothile Buthelezi, I am an Occupational Therapist who graduated from the University of Cape Town in 2017. I am a 25-year-old female who is passionate about youth and community development. I was thrust into advocacy and community development in my third year of university. Many people think that occupational therapy is about helping the disabled, but that is just one aspect of it. Occupational therapy is about helping people live better lives by seeking to reintegrate them into the community and general society. This may be any vulnerable group. I have had vast experience in advocacy and community development through volunteering, past work experience and school. I have gone to the extent of applying for a masters in community development in order to further my knowledge and skills base. I am currently working at NBC Holdings as a disability claims consultant. In the past 8 months I have learnt a great deal about networking, managing funds, organizing meetings and presenting cases. I have had to advocate for better services and inclusivity. I work in a fast pace environment where I have to hand in reports in a certain amount of time, attend meetings and present cases. I previously worked in Carletonville Hospital where I managed the department as I was the only Occupational Therapist. I had to implement and advocate for various changes and resources. I always strive to make an impact in everything that I do. Being in the medical field, I have worked with a vast number of HIV related cases, ranging from physical conditions related HIV, orphans who are affected by the epidemic to being part of volunteering groups aimed at educating the masses on the physical and mental effects of the condition. Through my medical background, physical and mental, as well as my recent cooperate experience, I believe I would be an excellent coordinator and choice for your organization. I am a hard worker and I am always striving to better myself and the people around me. I have excellent verbal and written skills along with analytical and organizational skills. I am highly motivated, dedicated and detailed oriented with the ability to work efficiently with other professionals in the field or independently. I am able to work well under pressure and I always get things done.
