I am an
editing-focused Producing and Post-Production graduate (cum Laude) with a strong technical foundation and hands-on production experience... and I would love the opportunity to support artists and production teams wherever I can contribute to the production process - creatively and practically, from colour corrections to creamy cappuccinos that fuel the midnight deadline drive.
Through both academic and freelance projects, I have developed a detail-oriented, organised approach to
production support, alongside my confident
editing skills (Avid Media Composer, Da Vinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere Pro). I am particularly enthusiastic about the editing-led aspects of video production and, in furthering my technical skills, am especially keen on developing colour grading expertise. My experience includes editing and producing short films, journalism content, and promotional work under tight deadlines.
As a freelance Producer and Video Editor for BRICS Global Television Network, I researched and wrote articles, coordinated interviews, established shooting schedules, and ensured timely delivery. During my studies, I edited narrative shorts to festival-ready standard, handling dual-system audio, colour correction, proxy workflows, and final exports, while also supporting productions through call sheets, schedules, and budget management.
While I thrive best in the editing studio, I truly enjoy contributing to
every facet of the creative production process. I work hard and have a reputation for pitching in with my time, effort and skills wherever useful to ensure smooth operational flow. My naturally collaborative, proactive attitude is being honed in my current customer experience role at a high profile London theatre. I am a humanitarian at heart and I
love helping people make a difference in the world. As a member of the AFDA student body council, I supported the maintenance of a healthy work/study environment and aided students with any issues regarding our learning curriculum.
I’m from Cape Town, loving life in London, with full employment eligibility and intent to remain in the UK. If you're looking for an
enthusiastic assistant, an quick-learning intern, a volunteer, short- or full-term employee, I would love the opportunity to chat with you. Please take a look at my portfolio and Showreel here:
