What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that fosters creativity and collaboration in media production.

I am a dedicated video editor and production manager with over a decade of experience in the film and media industry. My journey began with a diploma in Mass Communication, and I have since honed my skills in various roles, from editing TV programs to managing production teams. At Kenya Film School, I oversee studio equipment and provide technical support, ensuring that students' projects are completed on time and to high standards.

Throughout my career, I have worked with notable organizations such as Standard Media Group and Real Image East Africa Communication, where I edited a variety of audiovisual productions, including commercials and documentaries. My ability to troubleshoot technical issues and assist in training new staff has been instrumental in my success. I take pride in my contributions to projects like the Youth ConneKt 2023 Promo, showcasing my commitment to quality and creativity in every endeavor.
