Awardee affiliation: University of Limpopo

I have completed my Bachelor of Commerce (Economics) at the University of Limpopo in 2012 where I was the overall best student in Bcom Economics. In my undergraduate degree I was always the best performer and have received two awards by ERSA for being the first best economics student in 2012 and second best student in economics in 2011.

I have obtained my Bachelor of Commerce (Honours) Economics (cum laude) at the University of Limpopo in 2016. My research interest is in monetary economics this has been one of my most favourite courses both in undergraduate level and honours level. Studying for my honours last year enabled me to revive my most passionate hobbies of writing and as a result managed to secure 1st position in the University of Limpopo budget speech competition post graduate category and my honours research obtained very high marks. I am currently a tutor for first year Economics students and assist the School of Accounting in the invigilation of tests.

My main goal after graduating is to become an economist and pursue my PhD in Economics.
