- She completed matric in 2007.
- She is currently studying at the University of the Western Cape towards a BCom (General) and is completing her second year.
- She has held many jobs during the course of her studies to support herself financially (including part-time jobs at Call centers) and has set an exemplary record of how one can manage a job, studies and still find time for volunteering!
