Summary

As a talented multimedia journalist, I possess extensive knowledge of digital media and am skilled in shooting, rewriting, and editing content for engaging productions that can be consumed in life and online.

Over the past five years, I have gained experience in producing innovative and creative video and multimedia content.

I have also spent two years reading news in both isiXhosa and English.

I am highly professional and able to work well under pressure. Collaborating with a team comes naturally to me, as I enjoy sharing and developing ideas together.

Additionally, I am proficient in proofreading, editing, and publishing content to ensure high-quality outputs.
