I'm in my third year of a Bachelor of Applied Arts in Creative Writing at Whitireia Polytechnic.
I have a Certificate in Television, Theatre and Radio from Aoraki Polytechnic.

Big Idea

Next year I'm doing a four year arts course to learn to draw.
I'm currently writing a script for a comic book.
I also plan to take lessons in C++ computer programming so that I can write video games for a job.
I plan to self-publish graphic novels and a few comic book series.
I also write lyrics.
