Short Bio:

I started college in the USA in 2008 and for the 3 semesters I was there I was a straight A student and part of Phi Theta Kappa honor society. I studied at Monash University one of Australia's top university and for 3 years I was an above average student. I am very dedicated and committed to everything I do. In college and university I was complimented for my writing. I contributed a paper on current events to YPIA.org.za and they have since asked me to contribute more as they like my writing style.
Since 2008 I have worked in different sectors in an office environment. Everything I did, I gave 100% and it was reflected on my work. I have received nothing but praises from my previous employers and I hope I can continue with my outstanding work ethic.
