This vibrant and dynamic young woman has proven that the world can be your oyster - if you set your mind to it! Working extensively as an MC and motivational speaker for both local and international clients, her road to fame started when, at the age of 19, she was crowned Miss South Africa 2000. Her personal highlights are diverse and range from modelling alongside Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss and Elle McPherson, to graduating from Stellenbosch University with a B.Comm (Law) degree. She has been presenting the very popular Afrikaans magazine show "Pasella" for over two years and has travelled extensively, both domestically and internationally. During 2002, she came 2nd in Celebrity Big Brother during which nearly R2m. was raised for national charities. She is still actively involved in charity work and youth development.
