Summary

I am a purpose-driven and multilingual Bachelor of Arts in English Studies student at the University of South Africa with a deep passion for education, youth development, academic research, and the creative arts. With an exceptional academic foundation from Michaelhouse and practical exposure across teaching, arts, digital literacy, and youth mentoring, I bring diverse capabilities to support school learners and educational institutions. I have a strong passion for coaching and mentoring school-aged children in academics and sports, including chess, canoeing, swimming, violin, and hockey. I am particularly interested in developing soft skills such as communication, discipline, creativity, and leadership in young learners.
