Summary
I am a confident and resilient person, respected by peers and colleagues, and a good all-rounder. I consider myself to be a humble person who leads through others, by being a motivator and a good example within my peer group. I pride myself in being a person who achieves, is dedicated, hardworking, can be relied on and loves a challenge. My brother is on the Autism Spectrum, and this has inspired me to follow my career path. I am currently finishing my MSc in Physiology at the University of Pretoria, with a focus on Autism Spectrum Disorder and Nutritional interventions involved with it. I am also a tutor with the department of Physiology from January 2024 to present.
