Late 2006 – middle 2007: Siren Radio, University of Lincoln FM radio station – Studio Manager. For four hours once a week I had to check that the presenters stuck to the regulations given by the station. I also had to be able to work the studio and understand all the equipment in case something did go wrong with one of the shows.

Summer 2007: Arts week at Friesland School.

During this week I worked with a various number of people from other cultures in a number of different arts. I was given a number of tasks to complete to support the artists and students.

Summer 2006: Centre Stage’s production of Les Miserables, Derby – Stage Manager.

Middle 2005 - late 2006: Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award.

I completed the award, gaining experience in all three sections; a skill, physical recreation and service within the community. Not only excelling in communication skills, but also achieving extra skills within the sections of the award. I had to work closely with a group of people to achieve and finish the award. The whole experience was extremely challenging in a number of different ways but worth the accomplishment at the end.

Late 2004 - early 2006: Derwent FM, Derby’s local radio station – Presenter.

I am able to run my own radio show, from organising what was going to be included to the equipment to run the whole show.

Summer 2004: Red Earth Theatre Company, Derby – Back Stage Crew and Lighting Assistant.

Throughout the week I worked on props, costume, lighting and sound for a production that was performed at the end of the week by a group of young people. It has given me the experience of working on live productions with a large group of people.
