My commitment to community engagement extends beyond the confines of academia and reflects a deep investment in addressing educational inequalities in South Africa in the NGO sector. Notably, I led an inter-institutional dialogue in partnership with the Western Cape Commissioner for Children, fostering collaborative discussions on the rights and well-being of children. Through such initiatives, I strive to bridge the gap between research, policy, and practice, ensuring that my scholarly work remains socially responsive and grounded in the lived realities of those it aims to serve.
