I was born and raised in Durban, South Africa (SA). Durban is a very chilled laid back beach town on the east coast of South Africa. I’m the eldest of three siblings. My father is a chemist and my mother is a stay-at-home mum. I spent most of Saturdays on the beach. I absolutely love all sports that involve water.

Priya is very different to me. She’s such a go-getter and brave. I’m ambitious, yes. But in a completely different way to Priya. Priya is not afraid of failing or being challenged. I hate confrontation, It makes me feel uncomfortable and would rather say nothing than argue with someone.
