About me
I am a motivated, tenacious and dependable individual who is able to collaborate well with
others. Emerging from a creative background, I have a wide range of experiences that I
believe make me extremely adaptable.
My current practice involves working within very restrictive constraints including handling
minimal budgets, short deadlines and project managing other artists. This has meant I have
built strong interpersonal skills and resilience to working under pressure. I am keen to work in
an environment that allows me to develop these skills and continually build on my
experiences.
