Well-organised and resourceful filmmaker with 4+ years of experience in TV Production. Efficient and structured approaches to all working situations. Able to prioritise and manage tasks and information with the highest professional standards, and work independently or as an integral part of the team.

    East London, UKInternship
    Social Ark is an Award winning charity that empowers young people from under-resourced communities to develop social businesses- guided by their own lived experiences. We also run youth engagement programs enabling school-age children to take part in meaningful social action. We provide a standout programme of workshops, mentoring and personalised support that enables the young people we work with to focus on their assets and talents. In this way, they build on their goals, creating a springboard of positive action that results in sustainable change. We’ve created the Social Ark Family which consists of our supporters and young people that have been through our programmes. They sit on our board as trustees and along with our youth steering group they shape and steer our work. The Social Ark core and senior management team is made up of our alumni and people from our own community. Our alumni co-design our programmes and often co-facilitate them too, and they're always respectfully paid as the lived experience experts they are
