Currently, Chantal successfully balances multiple professional pursuits alongside her academic commitments. She works as a radio presenter at a community station in Motse, where she hosts youth-focused programs addressing critical issues including sexual health, substance abuse, and mental health awareness. Her media platform complements her active modeling career and ongoing pageantry engagements.
Beyond her professional endeavors, Chantal serves as a dedicated community advocate with a particular focus on substance abuse prevention. Her advocacy work reflects a deep commitment to empowering young people and addressing challenges facing her generation.
Despite the demanding nature of juggling these responsibilities during her final year of high school, Chantal maintains a grateful perspective, expressing that she feels truly blessed by the opportunities that have shaped her journey.
