I am a Lecturer in Urban Studies based in the Division of Urban Studies and Social Policy. My teaching ranges from postgraduate courses primarily in the planning discipline and a few social policy undergraduate courses.
I have a National Diploma and Bachelor of Technology in Town and Regional Planning from the University of Johannesburg, South Africa and a MA in International Planning and Sustainable Development from the University of Westminster. I completed my PhD in Urban Studies which focused on socio-spatial transformations in South African cities and how public space users perceive these transformations considering the apartheid legacy.
Prior to undertaking my PhD in the UK, I lived in Johannesburg, South Africa where I was employed as a professional planner at a private consultancy for over 5 years. I specialised in developing spatial planning frameworks, urban design, project management and tender preparation and management. I am registered as a Professional Planner with the South African Council for Planners (SACPLAN).
