I studied at the University of Pretoria and completed my undergraduate degree (BA) with English, Geography and Psychology as main subjects. I’m fluent in Afrikaans since I grew up in an Afrikaans household with a mom who was a high school Afrikaans teacher and quite pedantic about grammar and spelling. My honours degree was completed at the Department of Geography; a BSocSci (Hons) degree in Environmental Management. I’m especially interested in the interplay between humans & the environment. I was employed in the environmental management field for many years, starting at the CSIR and then continuing at private consulting firms. At this stage of my life, I prefer working on a freelance basis and focusing on language work: Writing, proofreading, editing and translation (English/Afrikaans).
