Her previous work experience includes co-curriculum programme development and research related to student leadership in higher education institutions and consulting work for companies related to e-learning course development.

Guided by her teaching and research interests, Delecia's involvement in social impact has led her to develop after-school development programmes for learners which focus on digital literacy and career readiness. She is also a Board Member of the Mido Foundation, a non-profit in Jamestown, Stellenbosch, which aims to decrease youth unemployment through digital enablement.

Delecia is a certified Gallup/Clifton Strengths Coach specialising in strengths-based leadership development.

Delecia also has a deep love for the environment and believes that education is a core aspect of addressing the climate crisis. Because of this, she has been the Curiosity Coach and Programme Developer of Matrics in Antarctica, which has led a nationwide educational competition to find five environmentally conscious grade 12 learners since its inception in 2020. Delecia was a part of the group of students, educators, and world-renowned explorers on the expedition to Antarctica, which took place in December 2022.

She is currently pursuing a PhD in Education at Stellenbosch University and hopes to contribute to a nuanced understanding of education, technology and society towards equitable educational outcomes in Africa.
