            I have always had a passion for film for as long as I can remember. During my school and sixth form education I studied Film and Media at GCSE and A level. I loved studying these subjects because it meant that I was able to gain qualifications for something that I really enjoy. Having left school, I would love to continue my interest in film and did this briefly at Greenwich University, where I studied for the first year of a degree but am now looking for work experience and employment directly with the Film and television industry. I am a very practical person and would love to join a media team and learn the skills first hand in an industry environment.            

I keep up-to-date with my film knowledge by reading a range of technical and film biographical books. As an avid cinema goer I also like to critically discuss film topics with like-minded friends.

I am an enthusiastic person and am keen and quick to learn and develop new skills. I am a friendly individual who works well in a team and I find it easy to get on well with people on all different levels. I am a very organised and tidy person and this helps me to be accurate in all areas of my job. Using my initiative and getting the job done is part of my hard-working personality as I am very self-motivated. I have a competent level of IT skills and am confident with using many current computer programs.
