    It made sense for me to study in an area where I could work alongside my studies. There is a huge benefit to the HLA because you can study locally, there’s no course fees and you learn about the industry while you’re working. There are so many employment opportunities!

    I played the part of Jesus in the college’s 2024 production of Superstar Live. The audition was intense, but I had a feeling I got the part as I had the right physical look. It was such a brilliant experience performing in front of a live audience!
