I have previous experience as a Nonprofit Curriculum Manager & Instructional Design Specialist, Program Manager, School District Instructional Designer, Grant Project Director, Education Service Center Consultant, Professional Development Facilitator, & a Pre-K through 5th grade Educator.

"Tandiwe, you bring the compassion, the passion, the empathy, the patience, and the Emotional Intelligence. You accept the position where you meet people. You meet them at their point of need, and you don't make them feel as though they don't matter. You make them feel that they matter, even with their deficiencies. You help to turn those deficiencies into strengths or help them understand that it can actually be a strength. That's what you do and you do it very, very well!"

"Tandiwe is a natural educator and communicator. Her genuine nature and easy style allow her to simplify technical or complex facilitator material for participants, providing an excellent learning environment. Tandiwe is respected by those she comes in contact with by her authenticity and warm personality. She would be a tremendous asset to any team of learning professionals! I enthusiastically recommend Tandiwe in all her endeavors."
