Show profile Hide profileMy career began in the corporate sector, but I decided to go to film school after 10years in the financial sector because I wanted to because I wanted to pursue my interests in the arts. The importance of education was instilled early in my life as both my parents were teachers, so when I went to film school I soon became the top student and was awarded the accolade for both the Higher Certificate and for the subsequent 3 year Diploma qualifications. I continued my studies to obtain a B-Tech degree in Multimedia (NQF level 8) from the University of Johannesburg the following year, while lecturing at the Academy of Sound Engineering and working part-time on television production sets.
That experience gave me the confidence to start my own film production company. The company, Mahoi Films, has produced an internationally screened film (at various film festivals) and has been the media partner for brands like The Hector Pieterson Museum, Rapid Lion International Film Festival, Mzansi Women Film Festival, University of Johannesburg, The Thabo Mbeki Foundation and others.
I was the Academic Programme Manager and Head of Department (2019-2021) for the Academy of Sound Engineering, the Academy of Television and Screen Art division. I have had the privilege to manage all aspects of the academic programme, academic staff and productions with external stakeholders.
Curriculum and learning materials development became my passion and I received an opportunity work for the development of the KwaZulu Natal Film Commission Post Graduate Program. This subsequently led to being part of the team tasked with creating and realigning national audio-visual production occupational qualifications for South Africa. I am currently working on these qualifications in conjunction with the Quality Council for Trades and Occupations (QCTO) and the Media Information and Communication Technologies Sector and Training Authority (MICT Seta).
