Professional Profile
Born on December 20, 1994, in Ngwelezane Hospital, I’m a dedicated Social Scientist specializing in environmental management and human geography with expertise in digital transformation and community engagement. My unique combination of social science background and technical skills enables me to bridge the gap between communities and technology effectively.
My journey began in eSkhawhini for the first 5 years of my life, before moving to eNgwelezane where I spent most of my formative years. Throughout my adult life, I’ve lived across eNgwelezane, Johannesburg, and Durban, giving me diverse perspectives on South African communities and their unique challenges.
My work focuses on sustainable development, community engagement, and leveraging technology for social impact. I’m passionate about using digital solutions to enhance public participation and environmental awareness. Since 2009, I’ve been involved in music production as a creative outlet, and from 2018, I’ve explored entrepreneurial gardening ventures. I’m also deeply committed to community service, having participated in church outreach programs from 2018-2021.
