Why work with me?

I have worked at The Ivy, a highly regarded business in the hospitality industry, teaching me teamwork, effective communication and how to work in a high pressure environment. Further to this I have gained invaluable experience working with children through volunteering at local schools in townships in Johannesburg, two to three times weekly for almost three years. I have also been involved in making blankets, organising and collecting for clothes drives, food drives, and many other organised events to raise money and help struggling communities in South Africa. I spent seven days in the Drakensberg mountains helping local communities through various different projects including river clean ups. These experiences have taught me tremendous leadership qualities as well as enlightening me on issues regarding poverty, inequality and the environment.

I have a strong interest in the environment, in reducing environmental impact and tackling climate change. My dissertation is based on climate change, analysing forms of climate denial and emotional responses to the climate crisis, as well as whether utopian thinking is necessary to allow us to reengage with the world and create a politically resilient position, especially in relation to Covid 19 and the climate crisis. I am interested in transdisciplinary art, with a research-led practice specialising in multi media installations and immersive experiences. I intend for my practice to act as a catalyst for change.
