Profile:
I am a very enthusiastic Drama student who is keen to establish himself in the media industry. I have a love and passion for Drama and the Theatrical world and I cannot wait to involve this love in my work. I am very hard working and work well with groups but work equally well by myself. I am a confident person who has a strong desire to succeed and learn along the way. I enjoying helping others learn too and am not afraid to establish myself as a group leader if I feel it is necessary. In my time at university I have taken to getting involved in extra curricular dramatic activities and a range of societies. Most recently I was Assistant Stage Manager for a student production of ‘Sweet Charity’, which was a huge success. In 5 years time I hope to be an established name within the media industry, earning a decent salary and enjoying my job.
