I was born and raised in Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa, where I had the most incredible childhood. There truly is no place like it, the smells, the animals, the food, and amazing people. If you ever get the chance GO!
In 1998 I hopped on a plane for the first time in my life and came to the USA as a Rotary Exchange Student and spent a year at South Medford High school. My plan was to head back to South Africa upon completion of my exchange program to follow a path in medicine but my year here was so amazing and opened me up to so many things I had never experienced, that I decided to stay and go to college here.
I graduated from Southern Oregon University and then went up to Portland where I attended OHSU for my doctorate in dental medicine. After graduating in 2010 I decided to come back to the Rogue Valley and settle down back at home where I am now raising two boys, Elliot and Digby.
Southern Oregon is a gem and I love all the outdoors that sit right on my doorstep and try do at least 2 backpacking trips each summer! I have an amazing community in this valley and love the life I have here. Travel is something I love and Ive been so blessed to be able to go back to Africa multiple times to visit family and get my fix of African soil!
