What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to leverage my research skills in a collaborative environment focused on health and wellness.

I am a dedicated researcher and data analyst with a focus on phenolic compounds in medicinal plants, particularly wild rooibos (Aspalathus linearis). My work emphasizes the nutraceutical potential of these compounds, and I am a strong advocate for the healing power of natural medicine. My academic journey has equipped me with a robust understanding of scientific research methodologies and data analysis techniques.

Currently, I am pursuing my Master of Science in Biotechnology at the University of the Western Cape, where I specialize in High-Pressure Liquid Chromatography and the analysis of phenolic compounds. My experience includes hands-on training in advanced analytical techniques such as High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS). I have also contributed to academic tutoring, assisting students in scientific research and writing, which has honed my communication and leadership skills.
