Born in Windhoek, Namibia, on April 30, 1989, I spent my childhood on a Kalahari farm. Growing up with four siblings and a menagerie of animals, from horses and meerkats to an ostrich, instilled in me a deep love for the outdoors and independence. My days were a mix of farm chores, caring for my many animal companions, and homeschooling. My passion for teaching sparked early, as I helped run a small school for the local Khoi San children, which my parents built.

At 13, I moved to Cape Town, adapting quickly to city life while still embracing outdoor hobbies like horseback riding and photography. After graduating in 2008, I embarked on a new adventure, moving to the UK at 18 to work for an events company. This role took me across the country and taught me invaluable lessons in independence and hard work.

I returned to South Africa at 20, taking on an administrative role in my father's construction company. Soon after, I met my husband, Chris, and we married in 2012. We moved to Sedgefield, where I pursued my passion for teaching, earning a distinction in Early Childhood Development. After a period of illness, I pivoted to car sales and later relocated to George to take over my father-in-law's water filtration business.

The COVID-19 pandemic led us to our family farm, where we built a stone cottage and started our own family. We welcomed our son in 2022 and our daughter in 2023. After three years as a devoted stay-at-home mom, I am now ready for my next chapter. My diverse past experiences in administration, sales, and hospitality, combined with my love for people and strong work ethic, have prepared me to excel in the world of real estate. I believe my unique skill set and history of adapting quickly to new environments will be a great asset to the industry.
