My start in the audio-visual/media industry began with completion of Sound Engineering studies at the SAE in Amsterdam, while still working as an accountant for a large international corporation. After completion of my studies I began working as a freelance sound technician and eventually was able to take on lighting technician projects. Then my interest in moving images took me to The International Film School, San Antonio de los Baños, Cuba were studied Digital postproduction for film, after which I began to take on more camera operator and video editing work. My video editing work eventually led to me working as video editor on a permanent basis for an international media agency. From my initial position as editor I moved up to chief editor, responsible for mentoring and overseeing work of editing departments in Amsterdam, Kenya and Ghana, and eventually attaining the position of Executive Producer.
