Personal:
My life experience has allowed me to become strong-willed and extremely hard working.
I had moved to New York at sixteen to learn more about TV and Film at the New York Conservatory of Dramatic Arts where I found my love for the technical side of film production. Upon moving back to England four years later I joined a course that allowed me to obtain, externally, a Diploma in teaching performance from TCL.
Whilst working full-time in a retail environment since my return I have now become extremely well versed in sales and management. Now holding a 2:1 from a top London University, I hope to move into the media industry.
Currently building a small company that specialises in low-budget short films my future goal is to become a development manager or producer at a film production company.
I am a hard-working individual and whilst I have recently found out I am dyslexic I will always be someone who enjoys achieving their targets and working against a deadline.
