About me
Over the last few years since leaving university I have worked in a few different roles, In all of these roles I have eventually reached the level of manager or assistant manager. This is obviously a good thing however working in a pub or a shop is not what I want to do with my life and I am absolutely desperate for the opportunity to prove myself in a professional creative environment. I have a degree from the University of Westminster in Contemporary Media Practice where I learnt the professional codes and ethics of working in the media industry, as well as this I also learnt various skills ranging from the production side of the media industry to the academic side. I have done some runner work in the past working on shoots for Vice and Don't Panic as well as doing some temporary work for the website Complete Music Update.
After working purely in management roles for the last few years I have managed to perfect skills such as admin office work, customer service, inter personal skills as well as the responsibility that comes with effectively running a small business single handedly.
Outside of work I am a keen writer and artist, I currently have a book of short stories and drawings entitled 'I Hate You And your Kids' which is being released in 2016.
Over all I feel that I am now ready to take the next step in my career and move towards a more fulfilling and enjoyable role of work.
