Albinism is a genetic condition, not an insult. Using it to mock someone’s appearance reinforces harmful stereotypes and fuels discrimination against people with albinism. Criticize actions, not a whole community. Words matter.

Five years ago, I joined TalentQL as an intern, and now my watch has ended.
Today, I leave @AltSchoolAfrica, having led the Learner Success function, supporting more than 35,000 paid learners in 11 cohorts across 100 countries.
I have taken time to reflect on my time at AltSchool, and the simplest way to describe everything in a few words is that I am incredibly proud of the work I did and what we accomplished as a team.
Over the last five years, I've had the privilege of working alongside incredibly talented colleagues across Learning, Product, Engineering, Finance, Marketing, Careers, Operations, and Leadership. Together, we served thousands of learners, solved complex challenges, experimented, learned, and continuously improved the experience we were building.
I am grateful for the opportunity I got to learn, work with the best people, and grow into a world-class talent. I did my best, gave my best, and became my best. Overall best, I dare say.
To every colleague who trusted me, challenged me, and collaborated with me: thank you.
To all our learners who trusted AltSchool with their career journey: thank you. You taught me much, and I am positive that I also contributed to your experience.
I'll share more of the lessons I learnt later.
What's next as I close this chapter? I'm open to new opportunities.
I'm open to and looking for roles in Customer Success and Experience, Community Leadership, Experience Design, Program management, Product advocacy & success, and cross-functional strategy. The work I'm most energised by sits at the intersection of people, systems, and business outcomes.
If you know a team that needs someone who builds people and systems in equal measure, let’s talk. I design customer-centred systems that help people succeed, and I'm excited to keep doing exactly that in my next chapter.
