1. Tell us a bit about yourself?
I am 32 years old. I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering in 2012 at the University of Pretoria. I received a PhD degree in Chemical Engineering in 2019. My passion for biomedical engineering has been a driving force behind my pursuit of forming part of the medical industry, and the development of exceptional biomedical wound care and skin care products. Currently, I lead the Skin Rejuvenation Technologies team as the General Manager.
2. How long have you been in the industry?
While pursuing a port-doctoral fellowship in 2019, I started with research in the cosmetic and medical fields. I have been in the wound care industry since April 2021, which naturally evolved into the skin care industry when I joined SRT in March of this year.
3. Has your work always been your passion? Tell us why?
Absolutely!
I have been passionate about the biomedical field since I can remember. I have always wanted to be part of a group that improves the lives of people, and at SRT and the Southern Medical Group it is one of our main focusses. It makes me proud to say that I am part of this team.
4. Being a women in the industry – what does it take?
Compassion and determination.
5. What has been the most difficult challenge of your career?
The biggest challenge of my career so far, was to realise that all our plans and goals have timelines and cannot be implemented right away. The best things take time, and it is most often that our amazing ideas only become fruitful later.
6. What advice do you have for other women in your industry?
Woman often shy away from opportunities. My advice is to make your name heard, by working hard and showing the world that you are a force to recon with.
7. Plans for the future?
To lead Skin Rejuvenation Technologies to become the pioneers in developing the most innovative and revolutionary skin care products in the world.
