Available to hire
I’m Asia Fontanarosa, a determined graduate with a BA in English Literature and Drama from University College Dublin. I completed a three-year program in English Literature and Drama and I am highly motivated to build a foundation of experience in media content, writing, and the Irish cultural movement. I bring hands-on theatre, video, and audio editing experience from university productions and volunteering, and I enjoy collaborating in teams to bring stories to life.
My background spans theatre production, writing across plays and short stories, and practical work in video/audio editing and stage management. I am a proactive team player who can organize schedules, lead projects, and contribute creatively to content production. I’m excited to continue growing within the media and performance sectors and to contribute to cultural storytelling.
