Joernalis, digitale inhoudsredakteur, sosiale mediaOndervinding
Na 8 jaar as 'n joernalis vir verskeie plaaslike koerante in die Wes- en Oos-Kaap het ek 'n jaar gelede my loopbaan begin as vertaler en reisskrywer. My doel as joernalis was nog altyd om nuus so akkuraat en objektief as moontlik met uithouvermoë, inisiatief, stabiliteit en vindingrykheid weer te gee. Deurentyd het ek geleer hoe om die druk van die nuuskantoor te hanteer, by spertye te hou, maar terselfdertyd by te hou met die nuutste nuus soos wat die gebeur.
Die klein dorpies waar ek soveel jare spandeer het, het my geleer hoe om sterk en volhoubare verhoudings te bou.
Met verloop van tyd het ek ook die kuns van bladuitleg en taalversorging aangeleer en was grotendeels verantwoordelik vir al ons aanlyn-inhoud en sosiale netwerke by verskeie publikasies.
Ek het in 2015 tyd spandeer in my tuisdorp, Nieu-Bethesda, waar ek aan my hartsprojek oor Die Uilhuis gewerk het terwyl verskeie ander vryskutprojekte my besig gehou het.
In September 2015 het ek teruggekeer na Kaapstad om aan te sluit by die LekkeSlaap-span as skrywer, taalversorger en vertaler, 'n heerlike nuwe uitdaging waar ek verskeie nuwe vaardighede kon aanleer.
