As a driven pharmacist and researcher, I am dedicated to elevating the standards of pharmacy practice and education. My academic foundation was laid at the University of Limpopo, where I obtained my Bachelor of Pharmacy and Master of Pharmacy in Pharmacology and Pharmacy Practice. My research emphasis on refining pharmacy internship policies and guidelines in Limpopo public hospitals stems from my passion for addressing supervision quality and education uniformity concerns for interns. With over five years of experience as a regional hospital pharmacist in public institutions, I possess a nuanced understanding of pharmacy practice complexities. My industry experience has not only refined my clinical skills but also intensified my commitment to pharmacy education. Currently, I am further developing my expertise as an academic pharmacist and researcher at Nelson Mandela University.

My research interests intersect at pharmacy practice, pharmacy education, pharmaco-economics and clinical pharmacy, driving my pursuit of innovative solutions to real-world challenges.
