About me
I have always been an adventurous person who enjoys taking up any opportunity to keep myself busy, try new things and help others whenever possible. From the age of about 11 I started to help with a stall at a local annual fun day, this gave me a lot of experience in talking to and helping the public, it also gave me experience in managing crowds.I attended a school group leader training course when I was 14/15 years old which lead to me starting an after school club which continued for a few years after I left, this helped me develop my leadership skills.
While working in various theatres since the age of 16, I have gained many communication and problem solving skills, especially when working as an assistant stage manager having to liaise with performers and sometimes audience members. I have recently worked on a musical in Leeds Grand Theatre which was an amazing experience.
In 2016 I worked at the Long Division Festival in Wakefield, this opportunity taught me how to stay calm in difficult circumstances.
Recently I have started local crew work for live music events which has helped me gain more experience and understanding with working backstage in real life situations other than just theatre. This includes working backstage at Radio 1 Big Weekend in Hull, which I felt incredibly blessed to be a part of.
In summer 2016 I was a seminar recorder for a two week festival, this meant I was filming on a broadcasting camera, and then editing the video footage on adobe premiere pro, and editing the audio for it on goldwave. In the past for college assignments I have made various videos, such as a music video, and a TV advert. For these projects I used adobe premiere pro and also final cut express.
I have done ETC EOS training
In removed I went on an international tour in Germany/Austria. For this I was a truss followspot, and during the get ins and get outs I was on the FX team, this included instructing local crew.
Although I take my work seriously, I am known to be good humoured. I enjoy being sociable and I get along with almost everyone, this is a result of me being very confident and adaptable to different places and people.
I believe that to be successful you have to be happy with what you choose to do, because what’s the point in applying for something you’re not going to enjoy? To be successful you should love your job so you go to bed every night excited to get up the next day.
