Nerissa B

I am a very affable and meticulous person who is greatly passionate about science and biology. I am adaptable and will make it work with students of any background and knowledge level.

I am patient and able to explain concepts to students of all knowledge levels. I supervised two Honours students and with a bit of help and encouragement were able to obtain their degrees. I would like to believe I am affable and can put people at ease. I enjoy helping students and watching them thrive and achieve.

• 2018-present PhD
• 2015-2017 Master of Science in Medicine
• 2014 BHSc Honours
• 2010- 2012 University of the Witwatersrand Bachelor of Science (Genetics and Developmental Biology, Microbiology & Zoology)

• My proudest achievements are both academic. In 2017 I was asked to join the Department of Genetics at the University of Pretoria to assist with research relating to a larger project. I have also presented at multiple conferences during my academic career, which I thought I would never be able to do.
