I have a  BSc Microbiology degree and I'm currently pursuing a BSc Honours degree in Bioinformatics, at the Centre for Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, Department of Biochemistry, Genetics and Microbiology, University of Pretoria.

My Honours project supervised by Dr Nicky Creux focuses on "Uncovering Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Sunflower (Helianthus annuus) Anther Filament Elongation". Using bioinformatics and computational biology, I analyze mRNA sequences from anther filaments to investigate how the transition from darkness to early morning light influences gene expression patterns that result in rapid filament elongation during anthesis.
