I am Afrikaans, so I'm fluent in and passionate about the language. I completed most of my postgraduate journalism studies in Afrikaans. I have a natural knack for languages, I love words, and I have an advanced Afrikaans vocabulary.

I am a happy, healthy, young adult and I would love to help empower students to be their best selves by helping them understand the real life value of what is taught in Life Orientation, so they can then comprehend the subject matter academically.
