Student Trustee Profile – Nomonde Joya.
Nomonde, which in her language (Xhosa) means patience, was born in South Africa, and since the age of 12, has lived between South Africa and the UK.
It isn’t common to have two homes, and sometimes Nomonde wishes she could merge the two into one because both countries have a lot to offer in the most diverse ways.
Nomonde joined discovery in her Master’s year, as a way to gain strategic management skills and have an input in the upliftment of society.
She has just returned from South Africa in time for our first trustee meeting. Having had an introductory and training sessions on zoom, Nomonde reports that the atmosphere of discovery seems very friendly, safe and diverse; such an amazing space to learn, grow and impact as a trustee board member and International Management student.
“The line of my studies was a great inspiration to applying for a strategic implementation position within the organisation.”
