What I'm looking for

I seek collaborative film/TV roles where I can edit, support production, grow technically, and contribute to socially meaningful storytelling.

I am a creative and passionate storyteller with formal film training from AFDA (Higher Certificate, BA, Honours) and practical experience across editing, production assistance, and on-set roles.

My work includes graduation films and a feature in post-production, with awards such as Best Editor (Honours) and a R10,000 grand prize for a documentary; I bring a blend of technical editing skills and artistic vision to every project.

I collaborate well on fast-paced sets as an editor, VTR/mixer operator, data wrangler, and production assistant, and I seek opportunities to contribute to meaningful projects that inspire and drive social change.
