mini Vital Rice Cakes range.
2015 March to present:
Freelance project manager
I started off my freelance career working as an events manager for KAMERS vol geskenke, a
large design market who has shows nationally throughout the year. In 2014 I managed their
JHB and PTA shows and helped on site with their Stellenbosch, Hermanus and CPT shows. In
between shows for KAMERS, I worked for Unplugged Communications, preparing many
quotes, working on a Docu Drama film shoot in Secunda and their iconic Snakes for Safety
industrial theatre workshops at AEL mining. A Microsoft CIO Council event and Discovery
Leadership Workshops were some of the smaller, short term events I helped managed.
The highlight of my working year in 2014, besides working for KAMERS, was managing the
design and copy writing of SAB’s ACT10N safety campaign manuals and PowerPoints which
were to accompany 5 Docu Dramas that Unplugged Communications filmed for them.
Although I studied Hotel management and event management, I have labeled myself a
Project Manager as I am not limited to these roles based on the experience I have obtained
after my theoretical and practical learning’s.
