Summary
An enthusiastic and curious-minded masters graduate looking for new challenges in communications and media production. During my academic pursuits, I focused on researching Journalism and the Political Economics of the Media. Additionally, I pursued coursework in Digital Audiovisual and Media Production. Throughout my academic tenure, I broadened my skill set as a media producer at Wize Media, where I contributed to recording interviews of visual podcast with several prominent personalities in their respective industries at the London studio. Drawing on with my past experience in founding an independent podcast focused on interviews, as well as my roles in marketing strategy for brands and audiovisual production, I am eager to expand my creative skill set through future career opportunities.
