I was born in Port Elizabeth in 1956 and currently reside in Palmridge, Port Elizabeth.

I speak the following languages: English & Afrikaans

I graduated from Charlotte Searle Nursing College as a General Nurse 44 years ago. I furthered my studies and became a registered Midwife in 1996. I’ve since gained experience in the following fields: surgical, orthopedic, neuro, thoracic, pediatric, antenatal, immunization chronic care, labour wards, burn units, as well as geriatric. My nursing career was spent at the Provincial Hospital, Uitenhage Hospital, Livingstone Hospital as well as Karstens Primary Healthcare Clinic.

I am currently involved in charity work within my community, and I offer my time to provide bed baths to the elderly in my church.

In my free time I enjoy swimming, camping, hiking and watching rugby, tennis and cricket.
