About me

Whilst I was attending secondary school and college I gained a reputation for being successful in organising music events for local bands in my hometown, Southend, Essex. From a young age I have been driven and excited whilst beginning to learn basic management from these self driven events that I was in charge of, and was able to direct staff and allocate roles and tasks clearly from then. I then went on to study a Fine Art degree at Goldsmiths College. I found that my art became performance and film based, and it often reflected my interest in cognitive science subjects such as sociology, psychology and neurology and politics. My art is inspired by work environments and work ethic, so therefore I became more interested in the business side of the art industry. Whilst studying I had part time jobs with roles such as events organising and being part of production and design teams, and so since graduating I have had work freelancing as an assistant to directors, producers and artists for a variety of projects. Since graduating from my art degree I have been working on design projects freelance, mostly being music video sets and working with Visual Merch teams which I am very passionate about as a creative. I have also been working in a secondary school and working as a receptionist. The role at the school requires me to be calm, compassionate and understanding of challenges these young adults face within their school, home and social life. Having worked with disabled artists and activists I have am educated and mindful with working with disabled people including children, including how to approach and calm down people during moments of panic and anxiety using grounding and breathing techniques. Working in a school with teenagers I have also been an available listener and a person to trust mainly from students of all teenage ages and genders, who have approached me with problems regarding friendships, home life, mental health, identity and relationships. I’m a very good and careful listener with interests in cognitive sciences and subjects such as Neuro Linguistic Programming meaning I am approachable particularly as a person to turn to for help regarding any issues. I am proud to say that the skills I have from working in varied work environments make me adaptable to similar roles, whether working in art, design, film, schools or offices, I am always excited to take on new projects and challenges.
