About me

I have graduated from the University of Leicester with a degree in English and American Studies which included a year abroad, studying in the US. In between or during periods of study, I have upheld numerous service industry jobs and volunteered at festivals and events, as well as gaining some office/administrative experience. I work well in stressful situations and would consider myself to be a team player as well as being confident working on individual projects. I am a flexible and reliable employee who meets deadlines, works with speed, efficiency and enthusiasm whilst maintaining a keen eye for detail. I have experience working with Microsoft Word, Outlook, PowerPoint and Excel, as well as online publications. My interests revolve around creative writing (short stories, film and television screenplays, reviews), music, literature and media, with an aim of building a career in television and film production.
