Driving through the Huguenot tunnel from Paarl where I currently reside, and entering the Du Toitskloof mountains every work day erases the fast-paced environment we all find ourselves in.<\/p>\n<p>During my studies at the Stellenbosch University, where I also completed my honours degree in journalism, I found myself working at three community newspapers, and thoroughly enjoying it.<\/p>\n<p>These publications include <i>Weslander<\/i>, situated in the West Coast region, <i>TygerBurger<\/i>, which operates in various Cape Town suburbs, as well as <i>Paarl Post <\/i>up to recently before joining <i>Standard<\/i>. <\/p>\n<p>Therefore, I believe it is safe to say that I relish in the close-knit environment of community journalism, as it requires an in-depth knowledge and love for the towns falling under a certain newspaper \u2013 a love immediately transferred to the Breede Valley where I currently find myself in.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond having an inquisitive mind and passion for writing, I spend my free time deeply entrenched within the horse riding community \u2013 a hobby which has deepened my love for all four-legged friends, and enriched my life to the fullest extent.  <\/p>\n<p>Thank you for already welcoming me with open arms at various grocery outlets, coffee shops and work related duties.<\/p>\n<p>I am looking forward to submerging myself in the Worcester community, as well as the broader Breede Valley region even more within the coming months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A message form Worcester Standard\u2019s newest
