Hello, my name is Thuli.

I completed my BSc (Hons) in Speech and Language Therapy at Stellenbosch University in 2024.

I completed my community service year in 2025, where I gained experience supporting children and young people across a variety of settings, including early years, mainstream schools, and specialist education environments. My particular areas of interest include social communication, functional language, and literacy development. I am passionate about creating supportive and inclusive environments where children feel understood, valued, and empowered to communicate confidently.

The Words First value that resonates most with me is collaboration, as I believe the most meaningful outcomes for children come from strong partnerships between therapists, educators, and families.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time outdoors, being with friends, and exploring new places in my local area. If you asked my best friend to describe me, they would definitely say that I am kind, fun, and talkative!
