Dream: I plan to become a respected and talented Paediatrician, a pioneer in the field and fulfil my role as a woman of God in the career I have chosen. I plan to open a children’s hospital. I also intend to join Doctors Without Borders for a few years after completing my specialist degree before returning permanently to South Africa and becoming involved in Public Health.
