I grew up in Johannesburg, South Africa, as a shy girl with a speech impediment. 

It was through speech and drama classes that I first found my voice. 

My mom always taught me that I could be and do anything I set my mind to. 

Her mantra, "Never take no for an answer," has been a guiding force in my life—meaning you keep going, even when all the doors seem to close.

With this spirit of tenacity, I pursued a career as an actress and voice artist. Some said the odds weren’t in my favour; I was diagnosed with a speech impediment and was told by voice coaches and casting directors that I had a 'bad' voice. But I didn’t let that stop me.

‍The lesson I learned? 
‍
‍I let go of trying to have a voice that won the approval of others. Instead, I immersed myself in learning how to develop a voice that felt authentic to me. I stopped working with voice coaches who made me feel worse about myself and focused on finding my own voice—a voice that would be heard. Today, I’m proud to be booked for voiceovers with some of the biggest organisations, including playing the voice of Ameera in Takalani Sesame. I’ve also landed roles in local TV shows and soapies like 7de Laan and Scandal. When I completed my Master’s in Fine Arts, it opened doors for me in lecturing. I also coached at a global company to fund my freelance acting career, and that’s where I discovered my love for coaching.

‍The Shift to Coaching
‍
When lockdown shut down many of my revenue streams—like one-woman shows, commercials, and lecturing—I pivoted. I started creating educational videos about communicating with confidence, and soon after, I began receiving coaching inquiries. But it wasn’t just anyone reaching out; I was being asked to coach inspiring and empowered businesswomen who were ready to be seen and heard with impact.That’s when I realised I could fulfill my lifelong dream of starting my own training company, helping professionals communicate as their most empowered selves.With just two clients, a vision, and plenty of prayers, I launched Confident Voices. How did I do this? As mom said: Never take no for an answer. And here we are. My mission is to help you embrace that same belief and give you the training, tools, and support you need to get everything you want—and make an impact.
