Summary

I am a very creative content creator across platforms and currently studying Sports Journalism in University. I have very efficient video editing skills with a very quick turnaround. I have a talent in writing and creating audio and visual content. I have a deep understanding of TikTok growth and engagement. I am very driven to help whatever I am producing have as many eyes on as possible and create engaging and entertaining content. I am a charismatic creator and writer with a background in comedy, sport and music. My hard-working farming background that I was raised in has been able to set me up to be able to work very hard in tough and pressurised situations that have extremely high levels of problem solving that I have spent most of my life in, this has helped me hugely with a crafty and perseverant work ethic.
