I'm a dedicated horticulturist with a great interest in unravelling the mysteries of plant life. I hold a BScAgric, majoring in Horticulture and Soil Science, from Stellenbosch University.Currently, I find myself in the final stages of my MSc journey at SU (the seasonal root growth patterns and carbohydrate allocation in macadamia trees). With statistical analysis and writing up being my next steps.While macadamias have been my primary focus, I am equally intrigued by the world of citrus. I'm eager to spread my wings and contribute to the field of horticulture in new and exciting ways.Outside of my studies, I'm currently a rugby player at Durbell Rugby Club in Cape Town, South Africa. Rugby isn't only a sport for me- it's a passion that I aim to further explore in the vibrant rugby culture of Australia.Here's to the future- cultivating knowledge, exploring new horizons, and scoring tries on and off the fields.
