I completed my BSc in Genetics and Biochemistry at UCT in 2016. In 2017 I completed my BSc (Hons) in Molecular and Cell Biology department at UCT under the supervision of  Prof. Nicola Illing, and my project focused on the extraction of ancient DNA from bones that have been excavated from South African archaeological sites. 

I am currently a first year Masters student in the Biopharming Research Unit in the MCB department, under the supervision of Dr Inga Hitzeroth and Dr Renate Lamprecht. My project focuses on expressing and the purification of outer membrane proteins and an enzyme of the Brucella bacterium in plants for the development of a candidate subunit vaccine.
