Research in the field of Teaching and Learning:

We presented a research paper at the 2012 Conference of the South African Accounting Association in this regard.

After graduating from the NWU with distinctions in all 31 semester modules as the top performer in the faculty, I qualified as a chartered accountant and achieved the fifth position nationwide in the IRBA Public Practice Exam (PPE) in 2005.
