Biography
I am an Industrial Sociologist with a masters degree in Industrial Organisational and Labour Studies from the University of Kwa-Zulu Natal which I completed in 2020. I am now a PhD candidate at UKZN. I have five years of experience writing for Briefly News. Although my writing background is very academic, writing human interest pieces allows me to take a more emotional approach to social research as my passion lies in understanding the lives and stories of others.
