The History

Enriched, dynamic, mobile, and rooted in purpose: This is the career I've built for myself, starting with an application to the Rhodes University School of Journalism as a hopeful 17-year-old. 

A decade into my professional career, I have been fortunate to write for a host of journalistic publications, digital news platforms, branded blogs, social media brands and innovative international scale-ups, producing news, thought leadership, content marketing articles, website and newsletter copy.

The driving force behind most of the content I've created is my fascination with the intersection between societal currents and changes, policy, and consumer behaviour. I've successfully been able to explore this within the news, tech, sustainability, and business content beats and pillars.

I hope to continue studying, understanding and publishing how people, business, culture and government interact as the world surges forward.
