The journey in specialising to become a psychiatrist was not easy but determination and resilience assisted her to achieve her dreams. Qualifying as a psychiatrist was an indescribable feeling and she was proud that her hard work had finally paid off. Her future goal is to sub-specialize in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry soon since there is a big gap in this field in South Africa. She also has a special interest in business and leadership, and completed her MBA with the Johannesburg Business School (University of Johannesburg).
