*Published Author | Award-Winning Blogger | Fertility Advocate | Entrepreneur*As a published author, award-winning blogger, and dedicated fertility advocate, I have transformed my personal journey with infertility into a mission to help others. With a Bachelor of Social Science, a Postgraduate degree in Management, and an MBA from the University of Cape Town, my professional journey is deeply rooted in both personal experience and academic expertise.Professional Journey: Infertility Journey and AdvocacyMy path to motherhood was a challenging one, marked by five years, nine IVF cycles, and several losses before conceiving my twins. This personal struggle has fuelled my passion for supporting those facing similar challenges. My now retired blog, [tertia.org](http://www.tertia.org), was a significant platform for sharing my experiences, earning the title of South Africa's top blog in 2007, 2008, and 2009. My book, "So Close," published in 2006, chronicles this journey and has resonated with many in the infertility community.Professional ContributionsIn 2007, I co-founded South Africa’s largest infertility support portal, Fertilicare, which garnered over 3.5 million hits per month. This initiative provides a crucial support network for individuals and couples navigating infertility. The following year, I launched Nurture, South Africa’s premier Egg Donor program, which has since become a beacon of hope for those in need of donor eggs. Media and Public EngagementI have been a vocal advocate for infertility awareness, sharing my story and insights through various media channels. I have appeared on numerous TV programs, radio shows, and have been featured in multiple magazines and newspapers. My passion for this cause is evident in the talks and articles I continue to deliver, aiming to provide support and awareness on fertility and infertility issues.Expertise and Specialties- Fertility & Infertility- Egg Donation & IVF- Surrogacy- Parenting & Multiples- Blogging & Writing- Marketing & Communications- EntrepreneurshipPersonal NoteI reside in Cape Town, South Africa, with my supportive husband and our three children.
