writing and editing (1)

I write reports, funding proposals, blog posts, and website copy that sharpen your message without losing your voice. I’ve authored reports for Government, philanthropic donors, and corporate funders; co‑authored a largescale organisational strategy revisioning document; drafted board charters and compliance frameworks; and all public-facing material for i‑MED Africa, Grootbos Foundation, and Flower Valley.

I turn complex projects into clear, persuasive documents- whether strategy reports, donor proposals, or compliance reports. I’ve written funding proposals that secured philanthropic support at Flower Valley, Grootbos Foundation, and  i‑MED.

creative editing

I have ongoing creative works, including poetry and long‑form writing, I bring a practiced editorial eye to creative projects that need both sensitivity and precision.

I build WordPress CVs, portfolios, small business and e‑commerce sites that are clean, efficient, and easy to manage without a developer. I’ve created sites in my private practice, while also maintaining NGO websites at Flower Valley and Grootbos Foundation.

governance and policy development

I draft clear, practical governance tools –  board charters, policy guides, and compliance frameworks –  that help management lead with confidence. I’ve authored strategy documents, board charters, risk registers, codes of conduct, contracts, and disciplinary frameworks across Flower Valley, Grootbos Foundation, i-MED Africa, SAPS, and Fishies. As an admitted advocate, I bring formal legal grounding alongside practical, systems-level experience.

I help organisations navigate change with clarity and structure. At Flower Valley I contributed to the organisation’s change management process during a critical transition period, ensuring stability while repositioning its strategy. At i-MED Africa I designed and implemented a full change management process, from restructuring teams to introducing new systems and policies. My approach balances practical governance with the human side of change, so organisations can adapt without losing their sense of purpose.

SOCIAL MEDIA PORTFOLIO

REFERENCES

I’ve worked for different companies and managers over the years, but what makes Faye truly unique is the way she sees people. She takes the time to understand each individual, what motivates you, what makes you tick and then uses that insight to bring out the best in you. She doesn’t just see you as an employee, but as a whole person.

Faye also has a rare ability to hold both the small details and the bigger picture at the same time. She has a clear, visionary way of looking at challenges and opportunities. Under her leadership, I saw firsthand how she was able to grow an NGO from serving just a handful of beneficiaries to reaching over 5,000 in just two years. That growth wasn’t by chance, it was a reflection of her strategic thinking, her ability to inspire, and her commitment to people.

Faye is a leader who leaves a lasting impact, both on the organizations she leads and on the people lucky enough to work alongside her.
