I am an adaptable professional experienced in both creative production and administrative roles. Since 2019, I supported Marinne Pretorius' Attorney in part-time admin duties and also served full-time in 2021 as an Article Clerk handling document preparation, filing, and client correspondence. Currently, I work as a Personal Assistant to an Operations Manager, skilled in scheduling, communications, and office coordination. I combine strong organisational abilities with creative problem-solving and great attention to detail. My passion lies in film production and creative direction, with hands-on experience in production design, set dressing, sound recording, and pitching. I thrive in collaborative environments where I can lead projects and deliver inclusive, high-quality visual storytelling with a fresh, artistic approach influenced by diverse styles such as punk subculture and Korean horror.
