What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters collaboration, supports research initiatives, and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Medical Biosciences at the University of the Western Cape, where I focus on Male Reproductive Biology and the Endocannabinoid system. With over nine years of experience in higher education, I have developed a strong foundation in curriculum development, scientific writing, and program coordination. My academic journey has been marked by a commitment to excellence, as evidenced by my distinction in my MSc in Medical Sciences and various scholarships and awards.

Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in laboratory research, project management, and data analysis. As a Teaching Assistant and Practical Demonstrator, I lead classroom activities, facilitate tutorials, and support students in their learning journeys. My experience as a Professional Scientific Officer has equipped me with the ability to manage departmental laboratories and conduct practical sessions for various medical programs. I am passionate about leveraging my scholarship and leadership skills to contribute to organizational goals and foster a collaborative learning environment.
