## About

```text
At Nelson Mandela University, I’m completing a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and serve as a peer mentor to first-year psychology students. I help them navigate university and feel comfortable finding their footing as students.

My academic record earned me Student Merit in 2024 and 2025. I’m eager to pursue an Honours degree in psychology and continue developing my skills in the psychological space.

I volunteer as a Sunday School teacher with Love House Kids Ministry, serving children. I also volunteered with Generation Earth, taking part in vegetation and clean-up activities and volunteering at local shelters.

I’m a poet in Nelson Mandela University’s poetry society, and my work appears in its anthology, Imagined Worlds. I enjoy storytelling and creative writing.
