At Ampere Analysis, I research television and film metadata, verify data quality, and help maintain accurate, client-ready media databases.

As a Senior Metadata Researcher, I identify systematic metadata issues, perform database checks, support client queries, and mentor new starters on technical skills and processes.

Previously, I supported performance reporting at the Western Cape Government through data capture, verification, research reports, graphs, and pivot tables. My background also includes tutoring and administrative support at the University of the Western Cape and Cape Peninsula University of Technology.
