I am a Senior Lecturer at the Political Science Department at Stellenbosch University, South Africa. I consider myself to be a highly organised and structured academic focused on student progression and achievement through creative curriculum delivery. Student-centred mentorship and supervision are key to growing my postgraduate portfolio and delivering higher degree (MA and PhD) graduates. I am also a highly qualified research manager with scientific research outputs, regularly participate in international conferences and workshops, and have extensive African and international networks. In addition, I have director-level experience in the higher education sector, a strong sense of professional service, and am goal orientated, and pragmatic.
