Summary

Experienced individual with focus on production supervision and team management. Achieves seamless production workflows and high-quality output through strong leadership and process optimisation.

Starting as a hairdresser extensively trained in salons in proper styling, cutting and colouring techniques. I have gained communication and relationship-building skills which have aided customer satisfaction and retention rates. I often seek roles offering room for career progression and development. These progressions have been my university degree at Arts University Bournemouth in Makeup for Media and Performance. My degree has enabled me to enhance my previous hairdressing knowledge as well as gaining new expertise regarding performance makeup and wigs in theatre. I have been selected for multiple work experience positions which have given me an insight into the industry and provided me with real-life situations that occur and enabled me to first hand experience how life on set really is, which I enjoyed throughly.
