Currently: working as an intern at Reflective Learning. And upskilling myself to assist industry leaders with personal brand strategies for LinkedIn.

I am also a Maths and Biology tutor, mostly grades 11 and 12. After 1 year of a BA in sport science, I left to follow my passion in education and outreach initiatives. 

I am incredibly interested in the environmental impact of human activities, sustainable agriculture, mathematics, physiology, health and fitness. 
Outreach has been a main theme in my life, starting from 6 years old- when initiating (with the help of my mom) 'Little Green Fingers' to do clean ups in my area. 
Through primary school, I'd help an organisation called 'Creating Change' that would implement vegetable gardens in schools in underprivileged communities. 
In High School I went to Israel on the Diller Teen Leadership program (2018) and got my first job as a children entertainer for birthday parties and events. 
6 months after matriculating with 7 A's, I was brought home from University due to medical conditions and found myself tutoring online in my favourite subjects. 

Now, I am broadening my perspective and learning about the education (specifically maths) industry among school students. My aim one day is to make education more accessible, inclusive and practical for all South African people. This will be done through collaboration, partnerships and ubuntu.
