I am a dedicated Media Studies graduate (Summer 2025) currently completing a Performance Graduate Scholarship awarded to me by the University of Salford. I was awarded this opportunity due to my exceptional creative and academic promise as an aspiring screenwriter. Through my degree and hands-on experience, I have developed strong skills in editing, directing, and scriptwriting for film, as well as performance experience in student film projects. I work well both independently and collaboratively, staying calm under pressure and managing tasks effectively to meet deadlines. My previous roles in customer service have showcased my people skills, and the responsibility of handling money proves I am a trustworthy employee. I currently work at a youth club, where I lead sessions, organise activities, and support young people with additional needs. This experience has enhanced my leadership, safeguarding awareness, and sense of responsibility. I am a reliable, hardworking individual with a strong work ethic, and I’m always willing to undertake further training to expand my skills. With a mix of technical capability, creativity, and practical experience, I am well prepared to contribute positively to roles in production, creative development, and screenwriting within a professional media environment.
