She is an English and Drama teacher and has been involved in community theatre especially in the vicinity of the schools where she taught, most of them being rural. She was also involved with the Catholic Commission for Justice and Peace (CCJP) in Binga-Zimbabwe, for women and children’s rights in a drama and theatre initiative.She also worked with the Save the Children Fund (UK) again in Binga in an HIV/AIDS programme as a theatre practitioner.

She aspires to write her own plays professionally and continue working with impoverished rural communities in Zimbabwe. She is grateful that Drama for Life has made it possible for her to start living her dream and one day she hopes that through Drama she will be the next Mother Teresa.
