Summary
Having completed a BA (Hons) in Filmmaking and Creative Technologies at The Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts, I have gained both practical experience and theoretical knowledge in all aspects and stages of film production. I am keen to work in a studio-based role and am currently looking for opportunities to further develop my skills in a practical environment that connects with my passion for film and television.
I began my course with an interest in the technical side of filmmaking but soon developed skills in other areas, particularly when it came to collaboration, organisation, and working in a busy creative environment. Since graduating I have continued to seek out opportunities to enhance my knowledge and recently completed a week of work experience at Sky. Outside my work I am an avid cinema-goer and engage with films and TV shows of all genres. I also enjoy reading, creative writing, and visiting historical sites and museums.
