  I started of my academic career by completing my B.Com Degree in Human Resource Management but soon realized that my passion lis in Education. After competing my Degree, I went abroad and taught English in South Korea for 2 years. It was there that my curiosity about diversity realised. Upon returning to South Africa, I enrolled for my Post-Graduate Certificate in Education followed by my Masters Degree in Education Psycology. My Masters Degree ( recieving funding from the NRF competative grant) focussed on the LGBT youth and I just submitted my P.h.D focussing on the area of home-school relations of parents who have accepted and embrace their child's same-sex sexual orientation. I was fortunate to have been able to altogether teach for 11 years at Secondary School level which gave me firsthand experience of the daily lives of the youth. In January, 2019 I was employed by the University of the Free State as lecturer in the Department of Educational Psychology. The campus that I am located at is in a rural area which provides me with many opportunities for future research to estalish, develop and enhance the Africanisation and decolonisation of the University and African Universities overall. This will thus be my first priority with any future research endeavors.
