School Activities and Achievements, 1990 – 1994
Attending Grey High School in Port Elizabeth gave me an excellent all-round education. Grey High School offered an educational programme based in strong traditions, an encouragement to excellence and a varied extramural programme. I benefited from the academic teaching, the extramural programme (especially the team sports) and being a Boarder in my Matric year – 1994. I particularly enjoyed the computer science courses, which I did as an extra subject until grade 11, and Mathematics where I obtained a distinction in my final year. Being a Boarder in Matric was a most beneficial and enjoyable experience as I learned to adjust to a new environment and interact with a range of fellow pupils from various cultures and backgrounds other than my own. I thoroughly enjoyed my schooling at Grey as it instilled in me a positive attitude, a determination to succeed and valuable personal skills.

Career Development at University: 1995 - 1999
As a consequence of my interest and exceptional ability in the field of mathematics, I decided to further my career in accounting by studying for the Bachelor of Commerce degree with accounting as a major. Although never having done accounting at school, I quickly grasped the fundamental concepts of accounting, thereby increasing my desire and interest to specialize in this subject. I stayed in the men's residence at UPE for the 4 years and participated actively in extramural and sporting activities. In my final year I was placed in a leadership role as Secretary of the Senior House Council, which involved an extensive amount of organisational planning for events and meetings.

INTERESTS

My interests in the accounting field range across various industries but I especially enjoy accounting in the Information Technology, Communications and Manufacturing market sectors. I enjoy an active social life with friends and family, and participate in sports such as running (Knysna Half-Marathon, Cape Town Gun Run), squash and gym. When I relax I like to read books on motivation and personal achievement, as well as the occasional good novel.
