COSLYN ADAMS (Member)

Diploma in Business Management (Cape Technikon)

Coslyn started her career at Bush Radio; a community radio station, where she developed not only professional skills, but life lessons that one is rarely exposed to in the corporate world.

Thereafter she did a few creative life learning projects; youth exchange programmes in Canada, producing a quirky music video, freelancing at an Extras agency, working at a recording studio in Gardens where she corresponded quite frequently with the ladies at APM. Always loving and wanting to be a part of the entertainment industry’s heartbeat, she found her niche behind the scene when joining APM in 2007.

“I’ve learned that there is a huge importance in the People Behind the Scenes, those that maintain calm in the storm and order in our chaos.”
