Born: 1 November 1992

I was born in Bulawayo and lived in Gweru on a dairy farm for the first ten years of life. My family then moved to Bulawayo due to the farm invasions. I went to a variety of different junior and high schools. My favourite was Whitestone School and I am currently finishing up my studies at Morning Star Christian Academy in January 2012. I participated in all kinds of sporting activities such as swimming, rugby, hockey and cricket. I enjoy being outside and being active. Some of my favourite activities are paintball, pellet gun shooting, basic carpentry, model building, running, gym and fitness training. I am very keen on joining the army at some point and so I have been trying to build up my strength and fitness levels. The move to Bulawayo gave me the opportunity to join the Southern Equestrian Centre and I have won a number of certificates for show jumping against other riding schools in Bulawayo and country wide.

I am looking forward to the Quest Programme and hope that it will prepare me for my future and the outside world. I also consider it as a stepping stone towards joining the British Army.
