QUICKFIRE Q&A:

If you had to sum up yourself in 10 seconds, what would you say?

I LOVE TO HAVE A GOOD TIME. Always down for a boogie and partaaay. I am funny. Sarcastic 90% of the time. I normally look like I have my life together but 99% of the time I really don’t. I’ve got the biggest heart. Every day I intentionally try to be the best version of myself – even if that means eating more chocolate than salads because I know it will make my soul happier.

I was born and raised in the south of Johannesburg.

In which towns have you lived and where are you living currently?

I have lived in Johannesburg and Pretoria. Currently in Pretoria for my studies.

Which languages can you speak?

English and Afrikaans. Does 3% of a bit of French count?

Describe your home’s interior style?

It gives, you can tell I am a student that just wakes up and sleeps in my space. I’m in res so minimal deco – some photos around my room to keep it homey, quotes, due dates and reminders fill my whiteboard and a bouquet of flowers sit on my table now and again for some extra-ness.

A hidden talent that you could probably get paid for:

You can use me to go undercover on a secret mission and gather information for you – I can be whoever you want me to be and not get caught impersonating or pretending to be someone I’m not.

If you could have one superpower, what would it be?

Be invisible and sit in certain rooms to hear certain conversations.

Which sports, if any, do you watch?

• Basketball
• Netball
• Athletics

Which causes are you really passionate about?

Period Poverty – I am passionate about educating people – especially young girls and people from poorer communities about periods and destigmatizing preconceived ideas around periods.

Education: Since studying teaching I have the biggest desire to help improve the education system – from helping underprivileged schools have resources that will improve their quality of education to helping teachers get the necessary training they need to teach at a high standard to changing many parts of the overall education system in South Africa that will benefit today’s students in such a way where they will be able to flourish, bloom and become the best version of themselves.

Helping people in general – I really do try and help people in anyway that I can. Radio is a great platform to give a voice to the voiceless and a great way to help someone get the necessary support and love they need. Making a difference in any possible way that will help improve someone’s life is my greatest passion.

What are the top things on your bucket list?

• Graduate on time
• Produce my own digital show.
• Go on a solo vacation.

Which things in the world (and people) do you dislike?

• Cannot stand any form of abuse and hurt targeted at anyone – just leave people alone and be kind human beings.
• Bad odor

• Diversity and different cultures
