About

With a strong foundation in Information Systems and Economics from Rhodes University, I have honed my skills in digital and UX design through freelance work since 2021. My career began as a Social Science Educator at Nguyen Sieu School, where I developed lessons to enhance critical thinking and global awareness. I also served as an Information Systems III Tutor at Rhodes University, facilitating practical sessions for students. My experience extends to coaching rugby at St Andrew's College, Grahamstown, where I balanced my academic pursuits with mentoring young athletes. A brief stint as a Winter Intern at Rand Merchant Bank provided me with valuable insights into service design solutions in the banking sector. My diverse experiences have equipped me with a unique blend of technical, educational, and creative skills, enabling me to devise innovative digital solutions and experiences.
