Hobbies & Interests

I thrive in an active, outdoor lifestyle and spend most of my time on or around the water. I have a strong passion for surfing, having competed at SA Junior Champs (4x) and placing 4th at the 2018 SA Longboard Champs. I enjoy wakeboarding, fishing, and time on the river or the houseboat, as well as golf, tennis, skating, and hiking. I am naturally social, enjoy meeting new people, and love exploring new places and travelling. I also have a strong interest in creativity and design.
