A regular face at the Lieder Theatre, he wants to be back in his hometown and get back on stage soon.
"Performing has always been a goal and passion of mine," he said.
"The course at Brent Street that I am pursuing currently, gave me an opportunity to learn from the best in the industry.
"It also helped me with both knowledge to pass onto younger generations and work in a career that I'm incredibly passionate about."
He is the winner of the 2020 Veolia Creative Arts Study Scholarship and has been awarded $3000 to support him to complete a Diploma of Dance at Brent Street in Sydney.
This course aims to create the ultimate triple-threat performers. While focusing predominantly on dance, students engage in singing and acting classes on a weekly basis to mould a well-rounded performer.

His passion for dancing started when he was seven years old.
"I got into that when I got to a chance to be a part of musical theatre. At the age of 10, I started focusing more on theatre," he said.
His love for theatre grew and he would travel to Sydney every weekend to see multiple productions.
"I love theatre and hope to end up there one day," Mr Bladwell said.
He is looking forward to coming back to his hometown to help those who share a similar passion like him.
"When I was growing up, we need someplace where you could act, sing, and dance," he said.
"I look forward to coming back to starting my own studio in Goulburn which would focus on all aspects of performing arts.
"When I was growing up, there weren't many places which would help youths express their creativity.
"I would love to enrich and empower youths here so that they can pursue their love for dancing, acting and expressing themselves creatively," he said.
