Achievements:
I was fortunate enough to attend a school that as part of
their mission statement was to produce all rounded individuals due to the
schooling process. I actively took part in academic, cultural and sporting
activities. I believe that my involvement in activities such as the school
choir enhanced my ability to work with people as part of a team and work
co-operatively no matter what the situation. House activities helped me
understand that every bit of work done counts and that no one is meaningless.
My time spent as a Public Relations Officer required me to be responsible,
punctual and to take the initiative. It also taught me personal skills and
problem solving. I believe that the five years that I spent at high school
were well spent and that they shaped me into a dynamic individual that could
handle almost any situation that I might be placed into and to enjoy life as it
comes.

The work that I have done has all required me to communicate
with people and to manage my time effectively. I had to do my own research into
a field that I had previously not ventured into, so that I could do my job
properly. I have also had to understand terminology of the systems I was working
with so that I could product accurate and correct results.

I am presently studying for and Electrical Engineering Degree
at the University of Cape Town. I see my time spent at UCT as a wonderful
time to develop and extend my skills that I have already acquired, and to learn
new skills that shall be of use in later life. I am involved in societies
at university and am actively involved in my career development. I
anticipate entering the electronics or telecommunications industry when I leave
UCT.
