Bio

I am a data scientist and maths enthusiast, passionate about teaching and sharing what I learn. I've seen how powerful and interesting maths and science can be: I want others to see that too!

I don't consider myself to have understood a concept unless I can explain it to absolutely anyone. I don't mind how long it takes, I just love it when others learn to share my appreciation for an idea.

Education

• 2015 - 2018: BSc in Mathematics, Applied mathematics, Mathematical statistics (UCT)
• 2019: BSc (Honours) in Applied mathematics (UCT)

My Proudest
Achievements

• Learning how to think rigorously, learn quickly and work efficiently from five years of studying at UCT, where I obtained distinctions in all subjects of my BSc and Honours, with four class medals.
• Making a custom, modular laptop using Lego.
