Twelve Apostles Hotel & Spa, Durbanville Hills & Bain’s Cape Mountain Whisky

I’m ambitious with a strong drive to succeed, and have a bubbly personality with a good moral centre.

I’d like to see myself as head sommelier of the Twelve Apostles Hotel & Spa.

My role model is sommelier Gregory Mutambe, because he was the first to introduce me to a career in wine

I’m currently reading Hustle Harder Hustle Smarter by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson.

The wine service training provided by Jean-Vincent Ridon during Grape to Glass was a highlight for me - eye-opening to learn more about correct sequences. The experience with the water sommelier was enlightening as I didn’t even know that something like that exists!  I also loved our visit to Durbanville Hills. Their Sauvignon Blanc is one of my favourite wines.
