After working as a doctor for a few years, Anesu worked as a business consultant at BCX (a Telkom subsidiary). Using her medical knowledge, Anesu consulted on projects focused on fusing technology and health to provide medical services to those living in rural areas. During this time Anesu also completed a short course in Social Media and Digital Marketing which has now translated to Anesu’s personal web and interior design company The Spacer.
It was after working in corporate for over a year that Anesu decided to open up The Nest Space. At this time she was also able to explore her passion of working with children by working as a preschool teacher while concurrently creating her business. Her work in education has led Anesu to value the insights and views of children, especially with regards to issues such as climate change and sustainability.
Expanding on all of her past experiences, Anesu also provides talks about a variety of holistic health and employee wellness focused topics to wellness teams and executives in the corporate sector and is a weekly featured guest on the “Wellness Corner” segment of the SAFM radio show, Sound Awake.
