Born and raised in sunny Cape Town, I can’t imagine a better view to wake up to than our beautiful Table Mountain. After finishing school, I moved to China to push myself out of my comfort zone, and it was there that I developed a love for connecting with people from all walks of life.
In my spare time, you’ll find me on the tennis court—starting later in life made it challenging yet fun! Or, you might catch me up the West Coast in Langebaan, either tanning on the beach or paddle boarding.
I never imagined myself working in business, as I’m far more into sports and the outdoors, but that just adds to the diversity of my life. I thrive on variety, which is why I love learning about and experiencing new cultures. You’ll often find me scrolling through Bookings.com, planning my next adventure. When I’m not doing that, I’m probably locked in a lively debate with my father about some controversial topic while my mother hides to avoid getting involved. Above all, I love a good challenge, whether it’s problem-solving, taking on new hobbies, or engaging in a friendly debate.
