Bhain sé Bonn Óir sa Véarsaíocht agus Prós, agus Bonn Airgid san Aisteoireacht, leis an London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts,  agus é ag freastal ar CADA. Fós tá baint aige leis an scoil, mar mhúinteoir cúnta, agus ag obair cúlstáitse lena gcuid seónna.

Cé go bhfuil céim aige sa Zó-Eolaíocht, bhí an-bhaint aige leis na Cumainn Ghaelacha i gCOC, go háirithe leis An Cumann Drámaíochta. I gcaitheamh na ceithre bliana san ollscoil, bhí baint aige leo mar aisteoir agus bainisteoir stáitse.
