Outreach

I think the night sky is best when it's shared, so a lot of my time goes into school workshops, stargazing evenings, and finding ways to make astronomy accessible to people who can't see it.

I co-founded Zulelinye Outreach, which provides STEM mentorship to learners from underserved communities through hands-on workshops and telescope evenings.

Astronomy for blind and visually impaired people

Astronomy is an overwhelmingly visual science. With AstroTouch I turn real telescope images from JWST, Hubble, Chandra and MeerKAT into 3D-printed tactile models, and use them in workshops with blind and visually impaired learners. All the models are free to download: see tactile models.

Beyond astronomy

I volunteer as a surf-rescue lifeguard and helicopter rescue swimmer with Lifesaving South Africa, and received a National Bravery Award in 2024.
