I am a writer, editor, literary scholar, and emerging GLAM professional looking to bring about meaningful change in Southern African libraries, archives, and cultural heritage institutions.
I recently completed a BA (Honours) in Afrikaans at the University of Cape Town. I completed a BA in Music, Psychology, and Afrikaans at the same institution in 2023. In addition to my studies, I occupy various student leadership roles, including Managing Editor of Varsity Newspaper, Social Sciences Director of the African Research Society, Chairperson of the UCT Student Psychiatry Society, and Technical Officer of the UCT Cortex Club. I am also an Editorial Assistant at New Contrast, a South African literary journal, and write a sporadic newsletter, The Informatologist.
I am passionate about promoting public libraries as sites for social good, and am equally committed to improving the integrity of South African archives and special collections. I want to use Wikipedia to increase the profile of South Africa libraries and collections. I look forward to contributing to this brilliant platform and connecting with like-minded people!
