About me
I have recently graduated from the University of Gloucestershire, with a 2:1 BA Honours in English Literature and Media Communications. Throughout my studies, I have developed a strong interest in working within media and I believe the skills I have would suit a production role. Achieving a 1st class honours in my English Literature dissertation is something I am incredibly proud of because I enjoyed voicing my own ideas to create a paper that was recognised in an academic capacity on a subject that I felt very enthusiastic about. I have a genuine passion in the work I do and I invest myself heavily in any tasks or goals I set myself. I have the ability to work independently as well as within a close knit team which has been demonstrated by my by experience working in the BBC Productions Team. My attention to detail and organisational skills allowed me to provide first class, comprehensive secretarial and administrative support for a publishing house in Cheltenham. It required excellent communication skills, arranging appointments for company representatives; and complex diary co-ordination. This experience taught me how to prioritise my own and other people's workloads to ensure that all tasks were completed to the strictest deadlines. My recent graduate internship at a publishing house in Bristol has helped to secure these skills further, as well as my understanding and experience within the multiple roles of publishing. On top of this, I also have a strong knowledge of social networking and an understanding of different types of media user and have experienced different production software, and research programmes. I also have a strong knowledge of Word, and Powerpoint, and Excel.I have a strong educational background, with elementary written and communication skills, and am a hard self-critique. I am highly motivated to work beyond the office desk chair, and enjoy actively doing things and meeting people. I have a goal to do well in life and be recognised for the work I do, through my own creations and ideas.
