About me
I am the economics graduate that had an aspiration for visual production and followed it without turning back. With my experience as an intern for a major music label as well as high profile clients’ freelance work, I have become a well versed producer with a keen eye for creative. Originally a London based Business Studies graduate, I discovered the ambition to become a highly impactful creative and producer. I hold a multi-dimensional skill set, ranging from an economical business acumen, to a host of creative skills and talents. Along with being extremely hard-working, I have a creative eye that boosts my ability to innovate and problem solve. Currently an Assistant Producer specialising in Film at adland giant BBH!

    BSc (Hons) Business StudiesDe Montfort University
     - Leicester, United Kingdom
    This degree prepared me for a career in business development and management. It equipped me with a broad, integrated understanding of the key aspects of business and the ever changing environment in which businesses operate. It focuses on applied research and management models which can be used to improve business performance. I also learned to analyse quantifiable information in order to make decisions. As part of my studies I had the opportunity to work with business professionals and local communities on live projects. This helped me to gain valuable experience and learn to critique business theory in practice.
