About me

I am 24-year-old MA Creative Enterprise graduate with diverse employment and educational experience, a wide range of creative skills and the ability to adapt and take on new challenges. I am a practicing artist who is looking for full-time employment in a creative, vibrant, and exciting work environment that can offer me continued professional development and the possibility to take on a higher level of responsibility. I have a passion for working with people and being able to contribute my skills to the efforts of a team whilst feeling challenged and encouraged in my own role. I have worked from the age of 15 to fund myself through college, a BA in Fine Art, and an MA in Creative Enterprise, from professional work in health and social care, education and hospitality. This has required me to manage multiple responsibilities at once, stay self-motivated, disciplined, and develop transferable skills such as time management, creative problem solving and interpersonal communication. I have a high level of written skills in a range of forms, from copywriting and marketing to academic and artistic writing, as well as creative abilities that include illustration, design, drawing, painting, and video. The experience of fulfilling roles in many different fields and in a range of challenging environments has required me to be versatile and accepting of change, able to take on new challenges and has nurtured my eagerness to learn.
