Kerrie Farnell

I’m Kerrie Farnell, a bubbly and approachable professional currently living in South Africa. With a background in live event production, customer service, and technical theatre, I thrive in dynamic environments where teamwork, reliability, and problem-solving are key. Outside of work, I’m a passionate music and film lover, especially drawn to sci-fi, and I enjoy swimming as a way to stay active. I bring enthusiasm, positivity, and a people-first mindset to everything I do. I used to work in technical theatre and live events, where I built strong skills in problem-solving, communication, and handling pressure in real time. Now, I’m looking to bring those strengths into remote work, with a focus on customer service, admin support, or creative roles.
