Summary


I am an enthusiastic and reliable undergraduate from Falmouth University with a passion for music, film, horticulture, culinary arts, animal rescue, and cultural diversity. As a Popular Music graduate, I have gained valuable experience across Falmouth, Penryn, and Truro, focusing on music and film projects that involved project management, collaboration, data analysis, and coordination in music videos, photoshoots, and promotional events. These roles have sharpened my skills in time management, planning, adaptability, teamwork, leadership, and problem-solving. Additionally, I have worked in both front- and back-of-house roles in hospitality and retail, as well as in festival worker and performer positions, which enhanced my communication, teamwork, and social skills. I am capable of taking the lead in fast-paced environments and new situations. I thrive in team-oriented settings, am open to feedback, and am committed to continuously developing my skills.
