Actress

I’ve been interested in anything to do with acting pretty much since the day I was born. I was always quite a dramatic child and started acting classes at about 8 years old. My love for acting really kicked off in high school with our school’s productions. I was a part of four incredible productions, one of which we got to perform at the Market Theatre in Newtown and two of which I had lead roles in. Two of the productions were even nominated for Naledi Awards and I was personally nominated for a Naledi Award for my performance as Macbeth in my matric year. My passion for it was unparalleled to anything else in my life and I still miss the stage to this day. I started working on film in November 2025 with Shane Comley-White and HSD productions. My first ever filmed project was a short film directed by Shane and I found that my passion for the arts wasn’t just confined to live performances. I auditioned for The Passing late last year and we began filming this year. I’ve loved every second of it and I can’t wait for this project to be shared with the world!
