I have hands-on experience in studios, outside shoots, and live events, creating promo videos and documentaries, with roles in camera operation, editing, videography and directing. I’m a team player who thrives under pressure and deadlines, always looking for new ideas and ways to push creative boundaries. I’ve run my own clothing brand to raise money for charity, freelanced on diverse projects, and I’m eager to learn new skills and contribute to dynamic teams.
