She told Daily Sun said completing the degree wasn’t easy.
“Last year was very testing academically as there was a lot of self-motivation that needed to happen as learning was altered due to the Covid-19 pandemic. But I am grateful for all the support I received.”
She started her degree in 2017 and explained why it took long to complete.
“Finding the balance between work and studying wasn’t easy. I didn’t want to take on a lot at the same time as I wanted to be fully focused on delivering at school and in acting."
"I decided to take a break from school, which helped a lot as when I went back the following year, I knew what I was getting myself into and was able to shine.”
