About

I am interested in developing a career in the Film and TV industry as a Producer. I am currently working as Producer's Assistant on a Netflix Film. I have worked in the industry for 4 years and have worked on projects ranging from HETV, Feature Films, Comedy and Documentary. I am a a highly motivated, positive person with excellent organisational and time-management skills. I am able to work flexibly and take a proactive approach to problem solving. I enjoy the challenge of working in a busy, creative environment, remaining calm in pressured situations.

In addition to the design and research elements of my Architecture degree I also worked in different part time jobs throughout my studies developing a range of transferable and technical skills including the ability to work on various projects under pressure and to tight deadlines, working independently and as part of a team.

I am technically confident and am experienced in using Microsoft Office, Apple software, Photoshop, Protools and other editing software. I am keen to use and develop these skills and willing to work hard to gain experience in this sector.
