Hammanskraal

Summary

I'm a BSc Life Sciences graduate with majors in Biology and Physiology and have just completed my Honours in Zoology at Sefako Makgatho Health Sciences University. My academic journey has provided me with a solid foundation in plant biology, parasitology, and phytochemistry. I've got basic computer skills in MS Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), data capture, and online research. Through my Honours research on the medicinal plant Agrimonia eupatoria, I acquired valuable skills in designing experiments, analyzing data, and connecting laboratory findings to broader scientific and health-related questions. I'm curious, adaptable, and driven by a passion for applying science to address real-world challenges, and I'm eager to contribute my skills to a dynamic program where I can grow as a researcher and professional while making meaningful contributions.
