Script Writer at Gameout
May 2022 - July 2022

As a scriptwriter and producer for Social Gaming & Coconuts, I was tasked with researching and writing scripts that were accessible to a broad audience. Content had to be well researched and presented in a fun and jovial tone. Once in production, I ensured that presenters could improvise while maintaining the essence of each episode.

Script Writer/Producer at Turbulence Studios
June 2020 - September 2020

I worked as a scriptwriter and producer for several projects handled by Turbulence Studios. I had to write scripts in accordance with client briefs, often producing content that was both informational and presented in a colloquial manner. Once in production, I liaised with both animators and clients to ensure that the project was completed to the clients' satisfaction.

Script Writer/Studio Producer at Okuhle Media Productions
2014 - 2017

As a scriptwriter for South Africa's biggest kids live show, Hectic Nine-9, my main responsibilities included writing the scripts for the live show. This involved a combination of creative writing and research, in which I stitched together content for air from raw brainstormed ideas. The content had to be written in a manner that was presentable to our youth audience while remaining relevant to the current affairs of the day. Studio producing included the logistical management of the live show, ensuring that the content was suitable for air.
