Having completed a Bachelor of Social Science degree at the University of Cape Town majoring in Sociology and Gender Studies, my studies have afforded me a wide range of relevant skills. I feel that this makes me a holistic individual with a knack for conducting research; the interpretation and analysis thereof; coupled with strong written and verbal communication skills. I am a free thinker with the ability to think both in and out of the box to produce ideas.
