Lisa Steyn's Profile

Jo'burg born and bred, Lisa Steyn couldn’t imagine a more exciting time or place to be a journalist.

When denied a spot to study graphic design, she wouldn’t have guessed it was really a stroke of luck.

Steyn instead took up journalism as a fall-back option not expecting the course to lead to a career as a reporter.  

While at the University of Pretoria she also majored in English and Visual Communication and went on to acquire an honours in journalism from Wits University.

She came on board the Mail & Guardian's business team at the end of 2011, but was already a familiar face at the publication after taking part in its internship programme in 2010.
