About me

Carli de Wet sounds great on paper, but between you and me, it only tells half the story. The real me? I'm a whirlwind of creativity, a sponge for knowledge, and a champion for innovative problem-solving.

Plus, I'm a "multipotentialite", bouncing between passions like a kid in a candy store.

More than degrees and diplomas, my life has been shaped by a constant companion: ADHD. It's not always easy, but let me tell you, it's been one wild ride of insights, experiences, and yes, even superpowers.

Living with ADHD isn't just about scattered thoughts. It's given me a front-row seat to the world of diverse learning styles and the challenges that come with them. It's fostered in me an empathy I wouldn't trade for anything, especially for those students who share similar experiences.

But ADHD isn't just a hurdle – it's a secret weapon of creativity. It lets me think outside the box, bounce ideas like ping pong balls, and come up with solutions that others miss. This dynamic approach bleeds into everything I do: from designing inclusive learning strategies to crafting engaging content that sparks curiosity, not boredom.

So, yes, I'm Carli de Wet – educator, content creator, entrepreneur. But more than that, I'm a storyteller, a problem-solver with a sprinkle of chaos, and a champion for making education brighter, bolder, and accessible for everyone.

My story isn't just about diplomas and achievements – it's about resilience, about embracing quirks, and about using my experiences to inspire, educate, and innovate.
