Mikayla completed her Honours in Writing at Stellenbosch University’s Drama Department. Navigating the world of theatre while staying true to her faith has been a journey of growth, but she has seen God’s guidance in every stepIn 2023 she played the lead in Intimate Apparel and felt inspired to enter the Premiere Student Theatre Festival. On the final day of submissions, the Lord provided an idea that led to her play, Jantjies and the Pearls!, winning Best Script and Best Ensemble. This opened doors to another prestigious festival, Teksmark! Through it all, Mikayla has learned that when we are faithful in the small things, God brings the increase.
