Hello! This is my story.

I am young, driven, and passionate about living a life of purpose.   I am so excited to be joining The Drama Academy as coach and director. I have 9 years experience as acting and modelling coach for Upstage Concepts, where I have been privileged to coach and mentor many young future stars.

My first love is acting and I was fortunate to play many lead roles in productions.  I competed in the National Eisteddfod and South African Championships of Performing Arts for more than 10 years. In 2015, I competed in the World Championships of Performing Arts in Los Angeles where I won the Overall Grand Champion Award for Acting.

As a model, I have been on the cover of two in-house publications and in 2016 I won 2nd Princess in Miss Teen South Africa. At the World Championships of Performing Arts in 2015, I was placed in the Top 7 International Top Models.

I believe that my years of drama and public-speaking training have provided a platform and given me the self-confidence to reach my goals in the national and international arena.
