Born and raised in Eversdale alongside her twin sister and older brother, Monique fondly recalls childhood days of street braais and playing cricket in the road.
A Career Built on Hard Work and Growth
Monique began her professional journey with us straight out of school in 2008 when ESI Attorneys was known as KSE Attorneys. She started as a receptionist and, due to her initiative and willingness to learn, she was promoted to an assistant in the transfer department. Monique then completed a conveyancing course whereafter she gradually took on more responsibilities, eventually managing her own files. Today she is one of our senior paralegals! Her commitment and perseverance are evident in her impressive tenure and growth within our firm and the industry.
A Day in the Life
Monique’s day is a mix of efficiency and multitasking. Her mornings start with addressing email queries and processing transfer registrations. She ensures lodgements are prepared for the next day, tackles more emails, and, once that’s all done, dives into the heart of her work.
Achievements and Aspirations
Among her proudest accomplishments are working her way up in the industry, remaining loyal to one company for many years and achieving personal milestones like buying her own car and home—testaments to her hard work and determination. Monique lives by the philosophy: “The grass is greener where you water it.”
Passions Beyond Work
Despite her introverted nature, Monique has a zest for life and creativity. She loves camping, fishing and capturing moments through photography. A hands-on creator, she often finds herself painting—whether it’s a home project or simply bringing a fresh colour to her surroundings.
A Life Rooted in Family
Monique cherishes her family. She and her husband have been together for 16 years, married for 3, and are proud parents to their 19-month-old daughter, Hayley.
We’re proud to have Monique as an integral part of the ESI family, bringing dedication and talent to everything she does.
