She was raised within two worlds; a home-life in a township characterized by poverty and violent insurgence; and a private school-life epitomized by religious dogma, wealth and suburban serenity.
Educated by the Marist Brothers at Sacred Heart College, she left high school with intentions to teach high school Fine Art. She completed her first year of a BA Fine Arts degree at UCT’s Michaelis School of Art in 2001, however upon realizing that she enjoyed writing about the Arts more than create it, she decided to abandon the canvas and pick up a pen, pursuing a career as a Writer. She completed a BA degree with majors in English Literature and History of Art in 2004 and in 2008, graduated from the University of the Witwatersrand with a Honours degree in Media Studies.
She has shadow-taught high school English literature, free lanced for The Mail & Guardian newspaper as a literature reviewer, ghost written speeches and developed communication strategies for corporate executives and CEOs from the African continent and Europe.
She has met two statesmen at under 30 years old and hopes to meet more in future.
She is married, with children.vizualizați mai puține
