SPECIAL INTERESTS & CAREER AIMS
A particular interest of mine is the media industry and especially social marketing. I feel as though a career in this field would be very fulfilling and would suit my skill set and personality. I also feel that I am a very dynamic and adaptable person whom could take on a variety of tasks. I have a strong interest in music and have taken it upon myself to become involved with local music scene such as working for Brighton Dome in my spare time. I ideally would like to work in a fast moving and interesting role assisting on interesting projects that ignite my creativity. I have a strong passion for media and I enjoy researching different mediums to promote services. I am passionate and hard working and often go beyond what is asked of me to achieve the best results.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND LEISURE ACTIVITIES
I am particularly proud of organising the “Never Let Me Go” film screening in Dublin, it was not only my first solely managed by myself for Channel 4 it was also a pleasure to work on such a challenging and interesting project. I feel that this has given me the confidence and experience to succeed on more challenging and diverse projects in the future.
In my spare time I like to be involved in music events. I feel that I am a very passionate person who has a lot of determination and drive to succeed. I enjoy group work but also feel I am a strong leader, often organising group work within my assignments at university.
I am a strong believer in being ambitious and seeking out challenges which I hope in turn will help me in securing a diverse and interesting career.
