Über mich

Growing up in South Africa, becoming an adult in Germany, and returning to South Africa to celebrate this incredible country, I have been privileged to always learn from the most incredible and creative people. Looking back on more than 25 inspiring years in the creative industries and 10 years in the private education sector, I have learned that "luck" is intentional, learning is constant, and listening is more valuable than talking.
