Show profile Hide profileAfter studying B.A. Audiovisual Production Management at RAU in 2003, majoring in Information Science and Journalism, I joined the world of television as part of M-Net, DStv and kykNET's New Media team where I remained for eight years working on some of South-Africa's biggest reality shows as multi-platform producer, videographer, video-editor, social media specialist and content creator/writer (Big Brother, Survivor, Idols, Boer Soek 'n Vrou & Masterchef SA). As manager of a core team, I was also responsible for training junior staff and overseeing ongoing television shows and projects in their online environment.
Later I joined Media24's Beeld newspaper as Multimedia Journalist and Social Media Editor and Strategist, where I was awarded the Standard Bank Sikuvile Multimedia Journalist of the Year 2013. There I was responsible for all Beeld's social media presence and growth covering some of South Africa's biggest news stories and so helping to build Beeld's online brand presence (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and website). Generating original content (written and visual) had to happen as fast as the news happened.
Cross platform publishing and writing for all available platforms has been part of my career for more than 10 years. I am familiar with various content management systems (CMS) as well as Wordpress.
I am currently owner of my own production company as well as the Creative Director at MIXONO. I have my own video editing station as well as a video production/shooting kit with lighting equipment. In my free time I am an avid artist, painter, illustrator and writer.
