Summary

I have a great passion for all things music spanning a plethora of genres and styles. I am always looking for ways to improve and appreciate constructive criticism greatly. I am well read on a variety of topic from entertainment, History, Religion/Philosophy, Media, Politics, Technology and even maintenance of delicate objects such as, instruments and physical media. I strive to uphold logical and objective thinking in times of adversity to create an inviting and secure workplace. During my free time I make a strong effort to continue learning and reflect on previous shortcomings to improve as a person and an employee. I am a confident , outgoing person that makes sure to give any job or activity my all. I believe that I have meaningful skills and experience to thrive under any circumstance, Provided I am given the chance.

Work History

Winnersh, Berkshire
08.2025 - 08.2025
  • This was a 4 day work experience in which I participated in shadowing senior mixers as they went through their daily tasks.
  • I spent one of the days going through multiple different reels of film searching for "dropped lines" as well as going above expectations to mark and make a note of other issues such as a difference in volume between the original and translated versions. As well as missing effects(but not limited)to EQ,Reverb and Compression.
  • On my final day I was given some hands on mixing and gain management tasks using the software logic and a physical mixing desk to achieve the desired result(Which was to align the translated version's mix to the original as closely as possible.

  • This was an intensive 2 day virtual work experience that was comprised of working in a team to plan a music festival that would appeal mostly to a younger demographic.
  • At the end of our 2 day course we then presented our plan and event ideas to our course leaders in front of the other groups.
  • We received personal advice and consultation from some senior members of the industry as well as mini-seminars to help focus our ideas.
  • I have since remained in good contact with my team members as we all share an interest in music.
  • We also worked on delegating roles to those best suited for it,for example our team members with a background in art were selected to design our events banner. While I personally focused on condensing key information down to a more palatable way for our target audience
