On Upwork, I translate between English and Afrikaans, proofread, edit, and rewrite text. My translations are completed personally, without AI-generated translation, while preserving meaning, tone, and context.

I also write Christian devotional and general content, along with scripts for marketing and explainer videos. My freelance work includes transcription and online Afrikaans tutoring.

At Vigne Entertainment LLC, I handled operations and administration for international film-production projects and coordinated crowdfunding projects. Earlier, I managed administration and training at National Circulation Services / EDUSUB and the operations of The Haystack Country Gift & Coffee Shop.
