I studied Visual Communication at The Open Window in Pretoria, South Africa, before pursuing creative writing studies at Emerson College in the UK and SA Writers College in South Africa.

 

In 2015, I was nominated for a Writers’ Guild of South Africa Muse Award for a web series screenplay. In 2019, I completed my Master’s in Creative Writing at the University of Cape Town.

 

My writing spans screenplays, short stories, and poetry, with work published in Enkare Review and Garbanzo Literary Journal. I continue to develop screenplays alongside my work as an actor and filmmaker.
