Marketing Manager and Graphic Designer
When it comes to creativity and a passion for marketing count me in! I have a strong drive for advertising and love the challenge of 'making wonderland' a reality each time a new project crosses the tables at Apple Property Connection. I am an avid writer and cartoonist who has been part of many projects and creations going all the way back to the high school newspaper. I have had lots of experience in the working world and understand that customer service and teamwork within a company is essential for success. Teamwork makes the dream work after all.
I have studied journalism, history of art and English as well as having a qualification in animal behavior and training which I studied through COAPE (Centre Of Applied Pet Ethology). I hope to be able to do my honors soon. I am a big animal lover and run my own animal welfare foundation called The Joey Gracie Mc Connell Animal Foundation - RSA NPC 2013/177766/08 - which I founded in 2008.
My writing experiences vary from International magazines, poetry and short stories to Pretoria news articles and of course our annual Apple House Hunter Magazine.
