I obtained my degree in Visual Communication from the Open Window Art Academy, with a focus on graphic design, photography and video. An important part of this included learning copy writing skills, and applying this to article writing and script writing. I am working as a transcriber on many international projects on a freelance basis, which includes listening to audio clips and/or watching videos, and captioning the speech in the correct format. I also proofread existing captions and correct errors in the existing transcription. I have an interest in a wide range of subjects, have a very wide general knowledge, and am very passionate about reading. One of my favorite pastimes is attending and competing in quiz events. I have great research skills and can very quickly grasp concepts and context. I am fully bilingual English and Afrikaans and these were my two highest scoring subjects in school. I can easily translate between the two.
