I am Tshedimoso Makhene and I am a Wits Bachelor of Health Science Honours (Chemical Pathology) graduate. I currently work as a research assistant intern at the University of the Witwatersrand. During my Honours I was exposed to academic writing for which I developed a passion. I also had a chance to develope my scientific writing skills as I was completing my Honours project and through attending a few writing lectures. I currently work as research assistant intern where I am able to develop and improve on my writing skill through practical experience as my responsibilities include assisting with writing study proposals.
