What is your favorite word in your language and why?
The word “gun” in Afrikaans (pronounced with a hard guttural ‘g’). This simple word describes the beautiful concept of being genuinely happy for another person; not begrudging them their good fortune, and is the opposite of envy. I have yet to find its equal in any other language.
-
What is your favorite dish from your hometown? If you no longer live there is there a good local restaurant that serves it?
We have a traditional meal named “Melkkos” – literally “Milk Food”. It is a type of thickened porridge made with milk that originated from a time when my people fell on hard times during the Anglo Boer war, providing sustenance and protein as a main meal. Nowadays it is served more as a sweet dish with cinnamon and brown sugar.
-
Besides the languages you teach, do you speak or study any other languages?
I adore the French language but confess that it has never come naturally to me. I first opted to study it as an additional subject in high school, then again more officially at varsity. I have continued to enjoy it recreationally for many years as an adult on Duolingo and have become quite proficient at reading the language, but have yet to enjoy a more submersive speaking experience in it.
-
What are your interests outside of teaching at Strommen?
I work at a beautiful wedding and function venue during the weekend and I am currently in the process of writing an Old Testament Bible Commentary. I adore spending time in nature, with children, with Good people and those in need: I am fascinated by all of God’s creation, especially by those created in His image 😉 I enjoy regular exercise and my dog is my Best Friend.

What do you consider your hometown? Why do you love it?
Johannesburg, South Africa. Often hailed ‘The New York of Africa’ this cosmopolitan, ever-evolving, dynamic beacon of Hope is as much a part of me as I am of it. I am deeply grateful to have been Planted here.
