Hy praktiseer sedert 2011 as onderwyser, vakhoof en dosent by verskeie sekondêre sowel as tersiêre onderriginstellings, onder meer Wits Universiteit en Tshwane Universiteit. Hy het sodoende grondige praktykervaring as opvoeder in beide die hoërskool- en universiteitskonteks opgedoen. Sy navorsingsfokus is multimodale pedagogiek, spesifiek die toepassing van alternatiewe onderrigstrategieë in die ontsluiting van voorgeskrewe vakkennis. Sy gepubliseerde werk sluit akademiese artikels asook illustrasies vir boeke in. Sy nuutste gepubliseerde artikel is getiteld “A Planet in Distress: Cross-Curricular Integrations of Visual Texts in the Mainstream Learning Context” (2023).
