My passion and love for my country and its people, as well as my willingness to learn and grow, inspire my ambition to make a meaningful and lasting contribution in my immediate sphere of influence, the Western Cape.
I have elected the Tourism Industry for all my MBA projects and have gained in-depth knowledge of the local and international tourism industry which I believe offers a significant opportunity for the Western Cape.
