About
Built by doing the work.
I'm finishing my BCom in Business Management & Entrepreneurship at EMERIS Newlands, graduating June 2026 with multiple distinctions.
I started building things at fifteen — selling firewood, then braais, then trailers. From there into Shopify stores and, eventually, running a small digital agency. Every venture taught me something the next one needed.
Outside of business, I race bikes. The Cape Town Cycle Tour, Tankwa Trek, and the Imbuko Big 5 MTB Challenge taught me what hard work actually feels like — and how to keep showing up when nobody's watching.
I show up, I do the work, and I don't oversell. That's the version of me you'll get on day one.
What I Offer
Skills I bring to the table.
Six areas where I can step in, take ownership, and move things forward — from day one.

Sales & Business Development
Building pipelines, opening conversations, and turning interest into long-term clients.
Digital Marketing & Growth
Targeted campaigns, paid media, and growth strategies that move real numbers.
Account Management
Owning client relationships end-to-end with clarity, follow-through, and trust.

What the bike teaches you, the desk can't.
Mountain, road, gravel — I race all three. Long days in the saddle, brutal climbs, and the kind of suffering that doesn't let you fake it.
Sport is where I learned discipline, consistency, and how to perform under pressure. Endurance and grit aren't résumé words for me — they're built in.
