Biography:
Let me just say, Farmgirl gone to the big city! I am originally from a small town in the Cape Winelands, South Africa, with BIG dreams from a young age. I studied Financial Management and Accountancy. After my studies I jumped right into working and in the process gained experience in multiple industries from manufacturing, petroleum, to retail. My positive outlook in life gives me a different approach to the daily grind. From class clown to serious Suzy, always maintaining the balance but in the process not taking myself too seriously! Yip, I even laugh at my own silliness sometimes! My motto and one of my most favorite quotes: “When you can’t find sunshine, be the sunshine” (words to live by 😊)
I have the memory of an elephant (not joking) I can remember things up to the colors used on pages or ink!
Interests & Hobbies: Interests & Hobbies: I am a creative soul. I paint in my off time, refurbish old furniture (ok I am not a carpenter, but I can work some magic with a paintbrush and creative ideas)I am a bit of a history buff, love general knowledge and finding out how things work.
Nickname: Magriet, Rennie, Rentie, Unfulfilled Ambition: “To become a karaoke superstar” Nope, just joking. To grow in a professional as well as a personal capacity. My hope is to never lose my inquisitiveness. Biggest Value added: My versatility. You can literally uproot me, and I will find a way to make things work. My fast pace problem solving and thinking outside the box. Let’s be honest, life doesn’t happen like it’s written in the books, and therefore a quick, outside the box approach from my side has always reaped rewards. Also, discount negotiations resulting in cost of sales reductions and increased profit (every bit helps 😊).
