THE RPM’S AT NURTURE AND TPM’S AT MONDIA Jorita Venter RPM Aurora What I value the most: My quality time with my family How do I spend my free time: Being a working mom of three, free time is a luxury. I enjoy a good movie (with popcorn) and to listen to music while singing and dancing, like no-one is watching. Why do you work at Aurora? Aurora was my first job, fresh out of comserve. I have started here as a clueless OT with no experience and now I am in an RPM role (still feeling clueless some days). I feel the nature of my temperament makes me a good fit for this type of environment. I love people – to see them grow and learn while they become the best version of themselves gives me joy. Aurora will always have a special place in my heart, and I have a passion for rehabilitation. Get to know THE RPM/TPM Monique Nienaber Therapy Program Manager Who am I? I was born in Bloemfontein, went to primary & high school in Bloemfontein. I am married and we have 1 child (baby girl). I studied social work at UOFS and I have been employed at Mondia Woodlands since 2014. It is a huge privilige for me to be part of the Mondia family. Fun Fact I am married to an “adrenalin junkie” that loves speed. We often spend our weekends at the oval track raceway in Bloemfontein Interesting Fact I started at Mondia Woodlands as the ward secretary for nursing & therapy & as the hospital grew, I got a position as a social worker. March 2021 I was appointed as the therapy programme manager at Mondia Woodlands. THANK YOU MONDIA for believing in me & giving me the opportunity to learn & to grow on all different levels.
