Experience

Noxu

Jan 2015 - Present

I update the social media content of this selfie stick company which only sells online on Amazon.com. I had to create the social media profiles for this company and had to hire freelancers to compile promotional videos for this company.

Media 24

Jan 2011 - Dec 2014 (3 years, 11 months)

I wrote health articles for the Afrikaans parenting magazine, Baba en Kleuter. I had to interview various health experts in the fields of psychology, early childhood development and obstetrics for these articles. Most interviews were in English and I then translated the content into Afrikaans.

Die Burger Newspaper

Jan 2004 - Dec 2011 (7 years, 11 months)

I was a senior health reporter at this daily newspaper and had to write three articles per day on various health topics including HIV/Aids, tuberculosis and cancer. I attended various international health conferences and had to report on complex issues in a way that was understandable for the general public. Before becoming this paper's health reporter, I was a sub-editor where I was part of the team who proofread and edited articles before they were published.
