About me
I'm a final year English student at Queen Mary, University of London. I graduate in July and am looking for a career in a creative industry, ideally in radio, TV, journalism, social media, publishing, marketing or music/theatre/art. Much of my experience and skills are based in radio, however I believe also have gained a lot of transferrable skills from work and university which could be applied to any of these industries.
I'm extremely driven, hardworking and passionate with a keenness to learn and progress. I work well under pressure and thrive in busy environments which require me to multi-task and time manage. I have excellent interpersonal and communication skills, as well as an eloquent and accomplished way of expression both in writing, and through speech. I'm extremely flexible in terms of working hours and am happy to work anti-social hours and overtime. I have can effectively research, process and analyse information quickly and efficiently, making me a very fast learner and giving me the ability to both follow instruction, and work independently.
As a person, I'm confident, bubbly and extremely sociable which makes me a great team-player as I get on with people well and build strong social and working relationships. I'm keen to try new things, develop new skills and broaden my knowledge in a number of fields- I'd bring this passion and enthusiasm to progress to any role. My interests include literature and theatre, hence why I chose to study English Literature in London, the cultural capital in the UK. I'm also very passionate about film and television, having studied film at A-level, making and editing my own films, and doing work experience at Channel 4 in 2010. My biggest love is music though, I love playlisting, reviewing and sharing new music, particularly music belonging to electronic, dubstep, house and ambient genres.
