I have 18 months of experience volunteering with children, aiding me when managing people’s emotions and needs. My studies into age demographics make me acutely aware of the production pipeline and broadcasting standards. So, I am great at complying to guidelines and assisting others to do the same.

My time completing Gold DofE has taught me to push past comfort zones to broaden my skillset, which has continued through university. My willingness to work in teams, and multiple leadership roles are testament to that. I am well-equipped to coordinate myself and others. As a creative, I can do all the above with high regard for the art form of animation (and the time and attention it needs.)
