I'm completed my second year studying BSc IT at NWU with 4 distinctions and an average of 73%. I've enjoyed photography since I was young, leading me to start a media business with my partner. In our business, I primarily handled photography and social media management. Through this experience, I developed an interest in information technology, design, and development. This led me to decide to pursue a degree in IT, a choice that I've been content with ever since.
I am deeply passionate about animals and wildlife. My future aspirations involve seamlessly integrating my profound love and knowledge of animals with my IT skills. I am eager to explore ways to bring together these two aspects of my expertise.
