I am a senior lecturer in the Department of Industrial psychology, situated within the Faculty of Economic and Management Sciences at the University of Stellenbosch. I hold a Ph.D. in Industrial psychology from the same institution and I am registered as an Industrial psychologist with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA). I started as a junior lecturer in 2011 and over the last 9 years have developed a love for research and the practice of teaching and learning.
I have taught undergraduate subjects including Career psychology, Ergonomics, and Psychometrics, to first and second-year students and a postgraduate masters-level module -Performance dysfunction in the workplace. I am also the coordinator of the BPsych equivalence programme that oversees the training and internships of intern psychometrists enrolled in the course.
My research interests include e-learning and gamification in education and training environments, student and learner engagement, mental health in the workplace and applicant perceptions in recruitment. I have published, presented and shared my research in various formats.
I am passionate about teaching and learning, research and finding innovative engaging approaches to develop my students. I consider myself a professional student and lifelong learner, travel enthusiast and adventure seeker. My goal in life is to become the best version of myself that I can be in order to develop and support others in becoming the best version of themselves that they can be.
