I am deeply grateful for the teaching and learning
experiences created by the SAFRI fellowship and
the opportunity to be a part of SAFRI as a life-long
learner.

SAFRI 2008 was indeed the
launch of my career as a
scholarly educator. I found the
supervisor for my PhD in my
class, the esteemed Prof. José
Frantz, my exact opposite in
terms of leadership profile. The syllabi of the study
units that I teach at my institution were enriched
with material and experience from on-site sessions.
Apart from having the responsibility of coordinating
the departmental community-based education, I
was on the steering committee to develop new interprofessional
modules on health leadership over four
years involving five departments from the Faculty
of Health Sciences and one from Humanities. The
curriculum framework which I developed was used
to develop the outcomes for the modules. It was an
honour to have also acted as a Faculty member on
the SAFRI programme for the past few years, and
to have accompanied fellows with their education
projects. My research has resulted in publications
and national and international presentations, one
which won the award for Best Presentation in the
Africa Region at an international physiotherapy
conference. I was also one of three Education Awardwinners
in the Faculty of Health Sciences in 2017.
