About me
I have always had a huge passion and love of all things film. I officially began my career in the industry in 2008 as a Production Designer and Set Dresser, after finishing my honours degree at AFDA (Africa Film Drama and Art Academy) in Johannesburg, South Africa. As with all things film no two jobs are the same and thus I have developed a wide array of skills and talents suited for many different jobs within the industry.
Working in a fast paced environment allows me to demonstrate my confidence and strategic abilities. I enjoy setting goals and using problem solving skills to achieve the best possible outcome. Dedication to providing high quality results is all part of my commitment to the job. My outgoing personality makes working with people from all different backgrounds an easy part of the job.
I am a person with initiative, someone who doesn’t have to wait for instructions in order to get things done. I am a self-starter able to see what needs to be done and to act on priorities. I enjoy collaborating with a team working toward the end goal of creating a successful production. My extensive knowledge of the film industry combined with my personality and work ethic make me an ideal candidate to strengthen your already excellent team.
I have a strong organisational flair with the ability to multi-task, yet prioritising the workload while calm under pressure, ensuring the smooth running of day-to-day operations. I am a proficient negotiator and a technology whiz.
I thrive on being around great creative people!!!
