Experience at a Glance
My experience includes founding and managing MindBloom Tutors, supporting undergraduate French students as a tutor and marking assistant at Stellenbosch University, and co-producing the Kurated Kulture cultural event. I also serve as a volunteer beach-lifeguard squad leader and work as a swimming instructor, roles that have strengthened my leadership, adaptability and ability to communicate calmly and responsibly.
My international experience includes three stays in France, the AFS Youth Assembly in New York and the BP Global STEM Academy in Brazil. Together, these experiences have shaped an outward-looking approach grounded in curiosity, cooperation and respect for different perspectives.
