Summary
Throughout college and university projects I have most predominantly worked on the post production of projects, and have a high level of understanding when it comes to software such as Premiere Pro, Media Encoder and After Effects. I do have a mid level understanding of other elements of production such as camera work, producing, directing, script writing and software such as Photoshop.
Outside of university, I have primarily worked as a Line Chef, or roles similar to this, being in a kitchen. These experiences have taught me how important being meticulous and having crucial attention to detail is, as well as how to collaborate effectively with a team to reach a common goal.
In my spare/free time, I enjoy drumming, and have practiced and performed rigorously for a decade, and it is this pass time that has enhanced my ability to understand timing, pacing, and how composed music can affect the emotions of an audience
