## What I'm looking for

```text
I'm looking to build practical experience in filmmaking and screen-based creative work, while bringing my audience service, live venue, organisation, and communication skills to a collaborative team.
```

## About

```text
I'm pursuing a Practical Filmmaking BA at MetFilm School in London, bringing a background in audience-facing venue work, hospitality, retail operations, and finance internships.

At Underbelly, I scan tickets, direct audiences to their seats, respond to requests, and help maintain venue presentation during shows. I also support stage managers with practical tasks including moving props and cleaning during performances.

As Butler Coordinator at The Lanesborough, I directed the Butler department and acted as a key link between guests and hotel teams, particularly room dining. I used Opera, Knowcross, and InfoGenesis, while gaining barista and mise en place experience.

In retail roles, I improved information transmission using Excel, speeding the process by 25%, and designed a mobile station that helped increase event sales by 40% over one year. My interests in filmmaking, screen acting, and dance complement my practical experience working with audiences and live environments.
