Profile
I am a friendly, confident and focused individual; I’m a career minded person with the self-motivation and desire to achieve the goals I set myself and to surpass the expectations of my colleagues. I am adaptable and a quick learner, keen to master new skills as well as build upon those which I already have.
Being self-employed for the past seven years has given me a wide-ranging level of business and personal experiences that set me apart from the crowd. My experience in the film and TV industry has given me creative flair and an eye for detail as well as detailed experience with numerous professional software applications.
I work best under pressure, with a constant driving force behind me. I am organised and highly efficient either working alone or as part of a team, always striving to meet deadlines and deliver a polished result. My strong interpersonal and administrative skills combined with my varied professional career make me an excellent candidate for your team.
