I would say that I am a determined young woman who is focused on achieving goals by putting in the necessary amount of work. I am someone who motivates myself and others to strive for excellence.
I am naturally compassionate and have empathy for people who are struggling. Throughout school, I did community service and collaborated with many people so I have experience in working with people in a way that isn't condescending but is rather more participatory.
• 2015-2019: Attended High School (Parktown High School for Girls)
• 2020: First year studying a BSc Astrophysics (University of the Witwatersrand)
• I would say that my proudest achievements would be my academic performance in school, having achieved six distinctions in my NSC and receiving an honours scroll for academics. I have also been admitted to study Astrophysics. Lastly, I competed in Model United Nations Debating at a national level.
