The young woman faced a rocky academic road

The babe, who is originally from Tzaneen in Limpopo, explains that she had some pushback from her dad when he found out that she wanted to study Media Practices at a private college:

“Initially, my father wanted me to study at a public institution because of funding and was somewhat anti-media studies because he wanted me to pursue law instead, but he eventually gave in.”

Geraldine is now a true-blue media guru, and triple majored in radio production, television production, and public relations, obtaining the best grades in her class, despite not always fitting in with her classmates, who were more extroverted than her:

“I struggled adapting to the college environment because I realised I was in a space with so many creatives with big personalities. That made me feel like I wasn’t meant for the media space, and I kept to myself a lot.”

In her final year of studies, Geraldine bagged the best grades in her class and advises all students to keep pushing themselves to reach for their dreams:

“You should never lose focus and always remember why you started in the first place.”
