Summary

I am an accomplished creative student with an unwavering enthusiasm for audio production, taking great pleasure and enjoyment from the processes involved in the creation of a high-quality sonic experience. Philosophically, I follow the belief of forever being a student and never a master, and am always willing to enhance my knowledge and develop new skills; which in a field constantly influenced by emerging technologies and software could be considered a valuable ethos. Whilst studying, I have spent my free time creating instrumental compositions for a platform known as Everyday Sync which enables artists within urban styles of rap music to lease said compositions directly from the platform. At this point, having now completed my Masters degree, I am eager to apply the knowledge gained and compile real-world experience. Due to historic employment roles, I have developed many transferable skills such as organisation and time management. I have experience in both team-based work, as well as working independently. As a person of neurodiversity, I have the innate ability to hyperfocus on my areas of interest or passion.
