About me

Recent graduate of the Creative Events Management course at Arts University Bournemouth, in which I received a 2:1 BA Hons degree. I'm now studying on the two year MA course Marketing, Distribution, Sales and Exhibition at the National Film and Television School, which will allow me the skills and knowledge needed to work in various areas within the Film, Television and Games industry. I love all things creative including musicals, film, television, concerts and festivals. I'd like to try my hand at screenwriting in the future, hopefully that is something I'll pursue alongside a potential career in either publicity, events, marketing or distribution.

The Henley Prize for Outstanding Creative Events Management DissertationArts University Bournemouth
Quote from Darren Henley OBE: Tackling an important topic, which has been overlooked in the past, this dissertation was extremely well argued, benefiting from deep insights born out of extensive and careful research. Its thought-provoking discussion meant that I came away from reading it feeling that I had learned something new.
