About Me
I can be considered to an extremely happy, friendly and trustworthy person. I mostly get commented on my good sense of humour, my positive attitude and am known to be a "people person". I like to think of myself as an optimist and always keep myself and other motivated and smiling. Presenting and Acting is my passion and something I feel strongly about. I have a talent for being able to talk freely to complete strangers and this can only benefit me in both presenting and acting. I think its extremely important to be punctual and reliable and I consider these two of my key strengths. I refuse to let anybody down and work 110% to achieve any goal I am set.

Employment History & Experience
Over the last 12 months I have been in over 7 or 8 short films, with speaking roles and as an extra. This has helped me develop as an actor and benefitted me by showing me the professionalism and dedication needed. I have also appeared in programmes such as Shameless as an extra in previous series.

Experience
Specialist Areas
Employment History & Experience
My main presenting role came in the form of a lead presenter for Connexions Salford, presenting their informative DVD on what happens after school and what the options are available for teenagers. This DVD was passed to every school in Salford as a way to entice students into progressing their education past high school. In this role, I was able to build on a basic script with my own touch on things and was allowed freedom to make it my own. As this was a subject not many students want to learn about, I feel I did a good job in keeping people interested with the way I presented. I had to interview school children, experts in child care and education, present my findings to camera and open chapters of the DVD so the range of presenting I did is rather expanded.

Experience & Qualifications
General Experience
My experience in independant film is quite impressive. Doing over 7 productions in the last 15 months has built me in good stead for the future and taught me the professionalism and etiquette needed to be successful at any level and this will stay with me for the rest of my career.
Qualifications & Training
My academic qualifications are A-Levels in Drama, Media, Film and English and I feel everyone of these has shaped me into who I have become as a presenter, actor and crew member.
During college I acted and filmed with a colleague in a music video that was nominated for 'Best Moving Image' in 2009 and followed that up with a film in 2010 which won the same award. These pieces were both done by a duo of myself and another colleague. We filmed, scripted, acted, edited and directed them ourselves.
Other Information
Relevant Skills
I know I have a wide range of skills that can only benefit whoever I work for. I am confident infront of a camera, and this is backed up by my natural ability yet these skills are matched by my friendly, humorous personality and my dedication and punctuality in whatever job I do. These are the skills I consider most important. I find that I can communicate with all types of todays society which is important as I keep open minded about everybody, never casting judgement.
Interests & Hobbies
my interests include all kinds of sport. I am also into Film and this is where my presenting expertise have come from. After studying sport for a hobby and film for my A-level, i am somewhat of an expert in both.
I enjoy going out making films and taking pictures wherever I can and I try to appear in as many films as possible, purely for the enjoyment if not the added experience.
