My Files
I am the DST-NRF Centre of Excellence in Tree Health Biotechnology (CTHB) administrative officer, and I deal with all administrative duties associated with the day-to-day running of the CTHB. I have various other duties such as assisting with preparation of powerpoint presentations, managing audiovisual equipment at conferences, statistical analyses of research outputs and management of licenses for software analysis programmes.
I completed my Masters degree in genetics under the supervision of Prof Paulette Bloomer in the Molecular Ecology and Evolution programme within the Department of Genetics at the University of Pretoria. I described the genetic diversity within two species of endangered endemic freshwater fish of the Cape Floristic region, the Cape Kurper and the Eastern Cape Rocky. The study included population-level and species-level diversity questions. This work resulted in the prioritisation of a number of Cape coastal rivers for the protection of these two fish species.
