About
I am an international student studying at the University of Texas at Arlington.
I was born and raised in Johannesburg, South Africa.
I am currently studying towards my BA, with hopes of graduate school to get a PhD in Psychology and a Masters in Criminology/Criminal Justice.
While going to community college here in the US, I gained a lot of perspectives as I was studying in San Diego, California. I joined and was captain of the ladies tennis team for 2 years in a row, I had the honor of working with various people in the jobs that I was involved in.
Here at UTA, I am involved on campus and am currently the social chair for the LGBTQA program within the Multicultural Affairs Department. The school is the 5th most diverse in the nation, and it shows.
Working here at the University has opened my eyes to various opportunities that I plan on taking with me to my future career and studies.
