About Me

I am a 19 year old confident, hard working and sociable person. A firm believer in the saying ‘anything you put your mind to, can be achieved’; I refuse to give less than my utmost in every working environment I am placed in. I am an effective communicator and excel when working amongst teams as well as individually. I also consider myself an approachable person, able to follow complex instructions, while retaining a professional impartial attitude towards my work. I deem myself a reliable and dedicated individual, thus resent any idea of poor punctuality or a lack of attendance and I am ready and willing to work hard.

Employment History & Experience

I have been involved in a BBC3 pilot called 'LAUGHTERSHOCK', working alongside the production company 'Browneyedboy'.
