• Met with clients for kick off meetings. Learned how to establish a rapport in a client/supplier environment, assessing and understanding client requirements and needs.
• Brainstorming ideas for music videos with pre-production team. This required a strong understanding of customer requirements and good interpretational judgement to successfully deliver an end-product.
• Involved in project planning. Once clients had agreed on a music video to produced, I provided input for its creative direction and logistics. This required budget balancing, casting actors, hiring freelance staff and organising transport for staff and for the equipment, all of which I had a close involvement with. Positive feedback received from senior management in regards to all the duties that were carried out.

BA PhilosophyUniversity College London
London, United Kingdom
• Theoretical Philosophy – learning about the fundamental elements of the universe, through which I have learned how to grapple with some of the most cognitively strenuous questions and answer them in a concise and accurate way.
• Normative Philosophy – largely concerned with topics such as Ethics, Politics, Aesthetics etc.; I learned how to put forward a persuasive case that one system is more valuable than another.
• History of Philosophy – concerned primarily with prominent figures in philosophy and philosophical movements (i.e. Sartre, or the existentialist movement), I have learned how to analyse complicated texts and debates, to deconstruct its main argument in order to simplify it into its atomic form.
