I am looking for the opportunity to build on the experience I have gained from working within the industry. I have learned valuable technical skills and knowledge of production and post-production.

I am keen, able and I learn things rapidly. I possess good organisational and IT skills. I am flexible and hardworking with the ability to multi-task and problem solve. I enjoy working as part of a team and equally like working independently. Whilst studying I held a number of positions with responsibilities that included the supervision and rostering of staff and handling cash. I’m a good communicator with excellent people skills.
