I trained as a medical undergraduate at Wits where I obtained my medical degree, going on to work in KwaZulu-Natal and here in Johannesburg for my internship and community service respectively. I’ve worked on national committees for Junior Doctors Association of South Africa and spent a lot of time at NICD here in Joburg in my community service year during the COVID-19 pandemic, where my love for microbiology was founded. I’ve always been fascinated by microbiological life, and am a passionate advocate for antimicrobial stewardship, novel therapy development and multidisciplinary care.Visit the Microbe Mail website to sign up for updates E-mail: [email protected]: @microbemail Instagram: Microbe_Mail  Facebook: Microbe Mail
