Eager and dependable student currently studying Film Making at the University of Huddersfield. I have had extensive practice working under pressure, with professional photography, security, and youth counselling experience & freelance gigs, and aim to bring my passionate approach into my next workplace. Efficient communication, candour, and compassion are core tenets of my character - and entering a new team with an proactive & approachable demeanour, I can quickly integrate into any work environment. I'm well travelled, and have honed my creative skills in numerous countries, including working with kids in America, and filming and editing my own cultural explorations.
Ran my own studio at London Royal Holloway University, where I dressed and photographed graduates under Tempest's standards and procedures. Very communicative - customer facing. I also took the former Speaker of The House of Commons John Bercow's graduation photos during that time too
A short but challenging experience in a pressure-cooker environment. On the care of the elderly ward I learnt valuable people skills and built on the hard-working mindset I have developed. I also gained transferable skills such as manual handling, for both equipment and people, and reliability & professionalism; skills which I feel especially proficient in.
I have worked with cameras in one form or another since 2019, and have had a keen interest in photography and video production since. During the last 2 years, I have done concert photography, interviews, and live music session shooting. Through my social media you can view photography and videography gigs I have done, and my own personal portfolio, from which I have gained priceless skills, including the ease of learning new creative practices, and an ambition to do so.
Worked with very important data regarding housing refugees from Afghanistan who had been placed in the hotel I was situated in. I was also tasked with sorting the volunteer website for Horton Housing, both in the setup of the site, and ordering applications we had received. It was a crucial introduction to a professional workplace, and helped to grow one of my strongest traits in communication.
