I completed my undergraduate studies in Botany and Zoology, as well as Biochemistry and Microbiology, at UNIVEN. I then pursued an Honours degree in Molecular Biochemistry at NWU. Currently, I am a PhD candidate at BRU, under the supervision of Dr. Sandiswa Mbewana, Prof. Ed Rybicki, and Dr. Alta van Zyl. My research focuses on developing universal influenza vaccine candidates using plants as an expression system.
