“It’s now been over 8 years away from home and family all to become the surgeon I have longed to be for all these years, to hopefully return home and give back to a country that gave me and my family everything we have today.
As early as I can remember I was going to be a Trauma Surgeon. None of this would have been possible without my South African foundations, my King Davidian guidance and most importantly my family. King David both Sandton (primary) as well as Linksfield (high) shaped me into the person I am today. The education and sports exposure allowed me the abilities and opportunities to excel in my various interests. The guidance and mentorship has instilled a sense of confidence, humility and pride in my work.
Certain Teachers and mentors that I would like to pay special attention to: Zillah Rakusin, Hazel Bolnick, Gillian Horwitz, Gary Block, Arnold Altshuler, Marc Falconer, Franc Delbianco”
