Katharyn grew up in Pretoria and completed her Bcom and Bcom Honours in Marketing Management at the University of Pretoria. She then spent 10 years in Sales and Marketing in a large corporate where, while quenching the thirst of many South Africans, she fell in love with bringing fresh and innovative ideas to the South African market. TwinkleTots Trading has therefore been a fun and passionate journey for Katharyn and so, after the arrival of her second child, she jumped at the opportunity to run with it full time.
