PERSONAL PROFILE
A hardworking individual currently seeking a full-time profession specialising in media, who is always willing to adapt and learn, developing new skills both personally and professionally. I am also a reliable individual that has demonstrated flexibility through all previous employment. My punctuality was tested at my job in retail and my team work skills were developed whilst running my own event, having to liaise with different departments. I consider myself highly motivated when faced with new challenges and work very well under pressure. My communication skills developed at degree level when liaising within groups to present new innovative ideas. Electronic dance music is a vital aspect of my interests, leading me to forming and managing two underground music events alongside professionally producing music for recording labels.
