I grew up in Vredenburg on the West Coast of South Africa. I studied at the University of Stellenbosch, where I obtained a BSc Sport degree in 2006, followed by a Biokinetics (BSc Hons) degree in 2007. In June 2008, I decided to change my career path to accounting and tax, studying at the University of South Africa while completing my articles in Stellenbosch, and earned my BCompt degree in 2011.
I obtained my SAIPA (South African Institute of Professional Accountants) qualification in March 2013 and have been a member since. I furthered my tax studies at the University of Stellenbosch, obtaining my HDip Tax qualification in 2015. I am also proud to be one of the founding members of Conradie and Fourie in 2012.
Outside of work, I am passionate about cycling and have completed 16 Cape Town Argus cycling tours to date. I also enjoy cricket, having represented Maties (University of Stellenbosch), and rugby, where I represented Western Province as a referee. Spending time outdoors and staying active has always been a key part of my lifestyle.
