I completed my BSc in Biodiversity and Ecology at the University of Stellenbosch in 2016. All my life I have been an avid hiker and have dabbled in photography and later began compiling species lists for the areas which I explore frequently, according to my observations.

Currently I work as a Fieldguide on the Green Mountain Trail. I am also a jewellery designer and goldsmith and a fiction and fantasy author, occassionally dabbling in sketch art.
