More about Sandra

I began my career at Addington Hospital, located along the picturesque South Beach of KwaZulu Natal, where I trained and qualified as a medical technologist in clinical pathology. Under the guidance of highly experienced senior technologists, I built a solid foundation that continues to shape who I am today. I adhered to the ethical principles set by the Health Professional Council of South Africa (HPCSA), including honesty, integrity, competence, respect, and confidentiality, which were crucial to my role in the medical field. Through discipline and punctuality, I learned the importance of professionalism in all aspects of work. After leaving KwaZulu Natal, I relocated to Gauteng, where I broadened my experience in various pathology and clinical trial laboratories. My role eventually evolved into project management for clinical trials, which ignited a passion for leadership and organization. However, when my contract was not renewed, I found myself at a crossroads one that led me to real estate, a career path I hadn’t imagined but I quickly embraced. In real estate, I have discovered a deep sense of satisfaction by building connections with people. I value the bonds and friendships that come from this work, finding it fulfilling for my soul, as I have always been passionate about human interaction. The core values I developed in my previous career punctuality, discipline, integrity, confidentiality and professionalism are now the cornerstones of my approach to real estate. Each interaction allows me to offer a personalized, authentic experience that helps clients achieve their dreams, making this journey in real estate both rewarding and exciting.
