Summary

I have recently completed my degree in English and Creative Writing and am looking to develop my skills in a creative company. My university career has bolstered my excitement and understanding of popular media, literature and how to deconstruct the marketability of intellectual properties.

I have written and repeatedly revised two novels to completion whilst simultaneously editing and advising other writers in my community. Writing and media are my absolute passions. My goal is to take on a role that I can devote my abilities to wholeheartedly.

I am looking for the opportunity to hone my abilities in a group of similarly talented creatives and to undertake challenges unique to the realm of media.
