How long have<br />

you been a DC?<br />

I’ve been a Debt Counsellor for 4<br />

years. Since being registered in<br />

2015.<br />

What did you do<br />

before becoming<br />

a DC?<br />

I was working for the Department<br />

of Education for 17 years as an<br />

administrator. I later worked for<br />

other Debt Counsellors while I was<br />

studying for the National Credit<br />

Act (the Debt Counsellor) course. I<br />

became full- time Debt Counsellor<br />

in 2015.<br />

Why did you<br />

become a DC?<br />

As I was working for the Department<br />

Education I realised that we all lack<br />

the knowledge and information<br />

about financial matters.<br />

I also realised how we need to be<br />

updated about all changes that are<br />

happening around us in terms of<br />

being over indebted.<br />

I was also in a negative financial<br />

situation after my divorce and it had<br />

personal impact on me, it was after<br />

that when I realised that I need to<br />

try to help those who end up in the<br />

same situation I used to be in.
