Academic Background
I attended Alberview Primary School up until 2017, where I served as Head Boy. I then attended SAHETI School from 2018 to 2022, serving as Deputy Head Boy in 2022 alongside captaining the open hockey team and the Rapid Rescue Lifesaving Club. Following high school, I completed my Bachelor of Commerce degree at the University of the Witwatersrand with a double major in Corporate Finance and Investment, and Insurance and Risk Management. During my undergraduate studies, I received an invitation to the Golden Key International Honour Society, represented the university as the team leader and top-8 global finalist at the Spencer-RIMS Student Risk Management Challenge in Chicago, and gained selection for the 2025 CFA Institute Research Challenge team. I am currently continuing my studies at Wits on a part-time basis, pursuing my Bachelor of Commerce Honours degree in Insurance and Risk Management.
2025 Spencer-RIMS Student Risk Management Challenge
It was with great pride that I served as the team leader of team Risk Takers, which represented the University of the Witwatersrand at the 2025 RIMS Student Risk Management Challenge. This prestigious global competition brought together 61 universities from 19 countries.
After rigorous evaluation, our team secured a place among the Top 8 finalists, an achievement that reflects our dedication and analytical rigor. The final phase of the competition took place in Chicago, USA, in May 2025, where we presented our research and recommendations before a panel of industry experts.
African Insurance Exchange 2025
One of the undisputed highlights of 2025 was the invitation for my team, “The Risk Takers,” to present at the African Insurance Exchange (AIE). To be given a platform in a breakaway session, a space usually reserved for industry veterans with decades of experience, was a surreal and humbling moment for us as students. We presented our research on Climate Change-induced risks and the resilience of South African cities, a topic we are deeply passionate about. Standing alongside some of the biggest names in the industry didn’t just validate our hard work; it inspired me to dig deeper. It remains one of my proudest achievements to date.
2025 CFA Research Challenge
Another standout moment of my final undergraduate year was being selected to represent Wits in the 2025 CFA Institute Research Challenge. I served as a team member in a group of five, collaborating alongside Honours-level students while I was still in my third year. The experience was an incredibly steep learning curve that pushed me well beyond the standard curriculum. Working so closely with senior students on rigorous investment analysis didn’t just sharpen my valuation skills, it taught me the value of diverse academic perspectives in solving complex financial problems.
IRMSA Risk Management Challenge
After returning from the Spencer-RIMS Student Risk Management Challenge and the African Insurance Exchange, my team (“The Risk Takers”) had a unique opportunity to pay our experience forward. We were approached by “Risk Raiders,” the team selected to represent Wits at the upcoming IRMSA Risk Management Challenge, to assist with their preparations. Drawing on the fresh insights we gained on the international stage, we provided informal mentorship on research strategy, reporting structures, and high-impact presentation techniques. It was incredibly rewarding to see them apply these refinements and secure First Place in the challenge. Playing a supporting role in their victory was a highlight of my year.
