Meet Daily Maverick’s new editorial assistant. This fashion-crazed Stellies grad has answered a few burning questions for Maverick Insiders. 

I loved reading The Hobbit in Grade 8. Recently, The Tattooist of Auschwitz.

Of all time, 10 Things I Hate About You ( I am a hopeless romantic). Recently, Spiderhead.

Of all time, Breaking Bad. Currently, Severance. Highly recommend.

The chicken came before the egg.

Whenever you make a wish, you can’t tell anyone, otherwise it won’t come true.

Emilie Gambade, aka my Boss. She was the editor-in-chief of a fashion magazine, and that is what I aspire to be one day.

Getting a call from Lydia at Daily Maverick with a job offer (Daily Maverick is my dream publication). Oh, and being on a WhatsApp group with Rebecca Davis.

That I was a gymnast for 10 years.

Speeding. I am convinced I was a Formula 1 driver in another life.

A vintage denim jacket that I thrifted.
