Her experience in film, television and theatre began in Johannesburg after graduating from WITS University in 2000 with an honors degree in BA Dramatic Arts. She works successfully in both creative industries in Cape Town.
Her work in documentary film is primarily concerned with social and environmental issues, and she has worked as a director, producer, researcher and cameraperson.

Featuring a life-size puppet, 'Joyce's Choices' performed at two conferences and will go on a South African tour to high schools in 2010 to raise awareness.
