Personal profile

I am a student currently studying Creative Media Production for Film & TV at the Henley College. I have a real passion for all areas of film
production with a special interest in the practical elements. I am a very quick learner who can pick up any task extremely quickly and be able to
perform those tasks to a high level.

Skills

Problem solving
Being able to solve problems when they occur is a very useful skill to have in the creative industries as problems come up very often. Having
worked in both film and theatre I have extensive experience for things going wrong and have been able to find suitable solutions every time.

Teamwork
Working as a team is vital for being a part in the creative industry. All jobs in the industry require some level of teamwork and I have had years of
experience with developing and building this skill. Having been an athlete all my life, I have participated in many team based sports including;
football, hockey and handball. These have taught me the importance of working as part of a team to achieve the required result that is intended.

Working under pressure

I am very good at keeping calm whilst working under pressure. With my current job as a lifeguard, I have to remain calm in moments of intense
pressure when mistakes could cost someone their life. On a more positive note, I am also very good in situations with deadlines looming over me
such as last minute projects or time sensitive projects.

Work experience

September 2022 - Present Freelance - TS Productions

I do freelance work for my own brand or for clients. I have had to become more reliable and
consistent with my work and how I approach it as I was doing this, not only for myself, but also
for a paying client as well.

Other interests

January 2013 - Present Professional Swimming

Having swam for GB at international level, I have developed many skills along the way. Most
notably is organisation. Training over 8 times a week for the past 3 years (as of writing this) can
have a real noticeable impact on my social life so being able to plan ahead to be able to fit
everything in is really useful. Also, having the resilience and independence to be able to keep
going through training and trusting the process are both skills which carry other to other tasks
that I partake in.
