Short-form video editor with over 10 years’ experience across broadcast and digital media, specialising in social content for TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. My background in broadcast editing trained me to craft strong hooks, pacing and narrative structure that improve viewer retention and engagement across social platforms. I’ve worked across sports media, brand campaigns and digital channels, producing high-volume social edits and platform-optimised content. Notable work includes contributing to the launch and growth of MTN FC, helping scale the platform to over 9 million subscribers in its first year. Earlier in my career I worked extensively in commercial photography and content creation, shooting social media campaigns for ASICS Tiger and The Silo Hotel, as well as billboard photography for Enchanted Cirque across Cape Town.
