I'm able to think on my toes and try to problem solve as best as I can. I'm a person who always tries to seek knowledge for the things I' m not too familiar with. I have a decent amount of confidence in myself when tasked to do work in my selected fields and some other areas. My aim is to help contribute to South Africa's film industry by telling more universal stories that appeal to many South Africans, irrespective of race and language.
