Nicola van Rensburg

I am a Chemical Engineering graduate.
I have been adept at solving problems since high school.  
My teachers all told me I should be an engineer, and the aptitude tests said the same.  
I am a fast learner and thrive in an environment where I work with and can learn from more experienced people.
During my studies I discovered a passion for critical thinking.
I have faced many challenges but there is not one that I couldn't overcome and where I didn't learn valuable lessons from.
