Before I became a "divorced mother of a teenage son", I specialized in educational theater and physical theater for my Bachelors degree which I obtained in 2001 from the Technichon Pretoria, which is now known as Tshwane University of Technology. After my studies I did some television work on local soapies and launching of a new product for food franchise. I taught English in Taiwan for 8 months and did various workshops and training sessions both National and Internationally. I've been out of the industry for quite some time but acting is my "one true love" and it's time to get back on stage.
