Gien has over 30 years
experience in the journalism industry,
her first job at a newspaper was
as a news editor after which she was poached by The Star newspaper where she
joined the Bureau for The Star, she
worked there for 14 years and 6 months.
Beforehand she was a
teacher with students who had minimal brain function, she was however forced to leave after getting
married because married women were not allowed to receive permanent
employment.
In her life Gien did
quite a few amazing and marvellous things,
one of which was the raising of 80 baby baboons. She also studied non-verbal human to primate
communication.
After a short leave
from journalism she returned and became the principal of the Caxton Cadet
School, she was later, in 2009,
promoted to Human Resources Development Manager, she expanded the school to a full time
training academy in 2011.
She would like all
young people to chew on the following thought.
“If you have a passion for something and that which you do you will
succeed… and live everyday as if it was your last.”
