About Me
I obtained my degree in 2014 at the University of the Witwatersrand. Following this, I worked at Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital, before taking a break to pursue a degree in business management in 2016. After obtaining my degree, I worked at Sizwe Tropical Disease Hospital before officially moving into private practice in 2018.
My passion is treating pre-school and school-age children especially with regard to language, literacy and auditory processing.
I look forward to working with both you and your child, and wish you all the best!
