I am a highly motivated, passionate person working hard to achieve my goals.

I’d love to see myself progress in the wine and hospitality industries - probably as one of the top sommeliers in the country! I’d also like to open a wine bar in my township of Umlazi.

My grandmother is very close to me. She has shown dedication and strong determination and faced every challenge that came towards her. She has inspired so many in our community and taught me never to judge but to love everyone in live and always be humble.

I’m so grateful for the informative Grape to Glass training week.  Although I enjoyed every moment, I must say what I found most memorable, was learning about water and how it affects the taste of wine. We were presented with water that’s around a thousand years old and has never touched the ground.  What an experience!
