Willem de Kooning Academie
Four-year Bachelor of Arts Degree in Animation with a focus in 2D, rotoscoping and analogue animation techniques.

CityVarsity Cape Town
Three-year Bachelor of Arts Degree in Film and Television Production with a practical study in editing, cinematography and directing. My final third-year film The Yellow Ribbon (which I wrote and directed) won multiple awards in the student and LGBTQ short film categories in festivals including V.i.Z. Film Fest, Toronto Film Magazine Fest and Only The Best Film Awards.

Trinity College London
Level 6 Diploma in Professional Musical Theatre earned through the South African branch of Trinity College London's study program in conjunction with The Drama Lab. Here I learned how to plan, prepare, stage and perform one-woman cabaret-style shows including a mixture of musical, drama and dance performances linked thematically. I also collaborated with the school's larger productions (Honk! and Into The Woods) working as the sound mixer and operator.
