It’s rare that you come across standout talent like Elfrieda! 💼 I have had the pleasure of working with Elfrieda for nine years (to date) at the University of the Free State, collaborating on career weeks and employment projects. From 🛠️ problem-solving, to ✨ creative ideas and 🏆innovation, to implementing and meeting deadlines - it is all part of Elfrieda's work ethic. She is 🎖 dedicated and loyal to her work and passions, and will make sure quality work is delivered. She won't just have a list of tasks that must be checked off; she will make sure it is done proper to deliver the best outcomes.✅ 😎 It is such a joy to work with a like-minded person who wants to change the world for the better, each project at a time. I admire her wealth of knowledge and networking skills to plough back into the community of students and practitioners in the industry. She is very quick to get marketing campaigns up and running. She does things differently and adapts when necessary, while staying up to date with technology and changes. 💻 As a team member or a leader, Elfrieda earns my highest recommendation. #SuperStar!

I've had the pleasure of working with Elfrieda on and off for many years and have collaborated on several marketing projects together. What really impressed me about her was her out-of-the-box thinking and creative ideas. These great ideas are, more importantly, accompanied with her skills to expertly execute the plan. This includes excellent rational thinking, liaising and organising. I would highly recommend Elfrieda, as she will be an asset to any company.
