Summary
I am a hardworking and outgoing individual with a passion for working with people to achieve a goal. By regularly babysitting my younger brothers as well as coaching rugby and Mini Athletics for young children, I have developed a strong notion of responsibility. This earned my nomination for the 2024 Honda Volunteer Recognition Awards. On top of that leadership and communication skills acquired from my time in the Army Cadet Force and in the Explorer Scouts led to formal recognition of my abilities when I received a Jack Petchey Award as well.
In pursuing my studies in Creative Media, with aspirations of working in film and television, I have learnt much about media production. Having to work as a team with my peers has allowed me to appreciate the importance of team-work and diversity in any workplace. Thanks to work experience relevant to my interests at IN-CO, I also experienced the pressures of a job in the TV industry. With this first hand experience as well as my natural ability for creative thinking, I believe I am a valuable candidate for apprenticeships regarding Production.
Dedicated individual with experience in coaching and customer service, demonstrating strong leadership and communication skills. Background in Creative Media studies with hands-on experience in media production. Recognised for contributions through awards, showcasing commitment and teamwork.
