What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic role in media production that fosters creativity and collaboration, offering opportunities for professional growth.

I am a Film & TV Production graduate from Sheffield Hallam University, where I achieved First Class Honours. My academic journey has equipped me with a solid foundation in film production, distribution, and research, allowing me to develop a keen understanding of the media landscape. I have successfully produced projects that not only meet deadlines but also resonate with audiences, as evidenced by my research on viewer perception and my award-nominated graduation film.

In addition to my academic achievements, I have gained practical experience in various roles, including as a Recruitment Consultant at MorePeople, where I implemented an effective LinkedIn strategy that earned me the MorePeople Marketing Award. My time as a Host at Dunelm honed my customer service skills, enabling me to manage multiple workstreams efficiently while ensuring a positive shopping experience for customers. I thrive in fast-paced environments and am passionate about collaborating with teams to deliver exceptional results.
