I hold a BSc Honours degree in Environmental Management. During my time of study I was the environmental representative of my residence Walker House in Rhodes University. This entailed promoting environmental awareness, ensuring effective and efficient implementation of water-wise and waste-wise activities within the house as well as encouraging students to participate in environmental awareness raising initiatives on campus while working on environmental projects. I was recently employed as a SHE (Safety, Health and Environmental) officer at Adcock Ingram Critical Care where I was involved in waste management initiatives, ensuring that the boiler stack emissions were monitored and at the acceptable levels and ensuring compliance in terms of NEMA while also ensuring the health and safety of all employees at the plant.
