Balance Academics Details
Post-graduate engineering studies are a fantastic journey of self development. Unfortunately the experience can also be extremely stressful when attempted without proper guidance and support. My affiliation with the North-West University allowed me the opportunity to mentor students (18+ post-graduates studies) through the thought process of developing ideas into academic outputs. I strive not just to support the academic work, but also holistically look at the person as an unique entity beyond their studies. The ultimate goal is ensure that the entire student remains stable and happy throughout the entire process. I believe that this approach not only delivers quality academic work, but also helps to develop the student into a well balanced professional person.
