About
Talented and versatile, I offer a unique blend of creative and analytical skills topped with an excellent work ethic and a goal-oriented mindset. I have experience working in vastly different departments, in all of which I proved myself as diligent, organised, and a quick learner. My current goal is to move fully into feature film production and gain my first credit in this department.
