I am a Quantitative Analyst in South Africa and I will be sharing my journey from UCT Graduate to a Data Scientist at a Hedge Fund in Cape Town (lol, I keep editing this part coz AcSci has enabled me to move around so much).

My channel will also highlight money hacks I wish I'd known when I entered the realm of Tax Payers.

I also gym, swim, hike, camp and I cycle so I can have cool things to put on my Tinder bio. I'll share some short vidoes of my hobbies here too coz "the girls need to have hobbies!!!!!1" - Small Town Didi (2025)

Enjoy!

More on me after hours :), here:
