Summary

I have Film-making and Broadcasting Diploma from Allenby Campus Bramley now (Damelin), then I did 2 more supporting courses funded by Multichoice. (Multichoice learnership and Multichoice Film Incubator Programmes) The first TV production experience was for Heartlines Productions an SABC 2 initiative thats were trained as a Script Supervisor (Continuity), then moves into the industry as a Production Assistant for various productions. Given a chance I would like to practice more and acquire all the necessary skills to be one of the few continuity persons in the industry as there are only few of us. I am a dedicated person and always eager to produce and deliver according to the expectations the industry standards.

With all that said I have moved to the Insurance space and working in claims department for over 7 years, I am glad to say I have found my new career (home), I am now comfortable in speaking all the business jargon related to the insurance space.
