Summary

I'm a young female creative with 14 years work experience in the television industry. I'm passionate about my work, fast and reliable. Good with meeting deadlines, work fast and always ready for new challenges. Confident to work without supervision and always thrive to deliver excellent work. My curiosity and eagerness to learn sets me apart in the workplace and my experience comes in handy in every brainstorming room and conceptualizing phase. My qualification includes writing and production but over the years my major has been video editing, which has taught me so much in learning all the production stages from pre-production to post production. My experience includes: editing long and short format programs (30min-2hour), editing promos, fillers, inserts, subtitles, producing promos, digitizing, tape dumping, format conversion, file transfers, content quality check, color grading, sound mixing and music, final mix, creating titles and graphics and archiving etc. I have 1 Vodacom Journalist of The Year Award to my name. I’m a hard worker, goal driven and have had the pleasure to be tasked with coordinating events of big companies like Edrington (Macallan and Transnet as an event coordinator.)
