Bio
I am a highly Visual and Kinesthetic learner with a passive passion for problem solving. Time is worth everything.
My experience as a student together with all my extra-curricula activities; sports, cultural clubs, leadership achievements, has a strong influence with my interactions with peers and mentees. I prefer walking over talking, but I cannot ignore the relevance of both.
Education
• For my first year, I studied mechanical engineering at the University of Manitoba. I later made the switch to complete my degree in Mechatronics at the University of Cape Town - B.Sc Engineering
My Proudest
Achievements
• My Sporting Achievements are among my most valued, with recognition on a national level.
• The numerous positions of leadership throughout my years in school which groomed me to be an example to all.
• My academic achievements are highly ranked. I wasn't always a good learner; however, I did find a way
