The intricacies of Chemistry and its unlimited potential drive the academic success of the Faculty of Applied Science Dean’s medallist.
Clarise Theron is so absorbed in science that she has enrolled for a Chemical Biology degree after completing her Analytical Chemistry diploma at CPUT.
Theron says that once you unlock the science of chemistry, it will be a fascinating, rewarding, and enjoyable discipline.
“Unpacking the different layers of the subject and drawing links between the different modules is what I enjoy most. Drawing links between modules and studying the calculations involved with the subject is my passion,” she says.
Theron also credited her lecturer, Dr Shirley Le Roux, for giving her the confidence to seek a purposeful career in her field of interest. Theron says students who want to replicate her academic success (distinctions in all subjects with special awards) should focus on their journey.
“Remember that it is normal for your path to look different from someone else’s. University is a good time to develop interpersonal skills and grow. Do not be afraid or ashamed to ask for help,” she says.
“I feel proud knowing that the hard work paid off.”
