Hi, I'm Abby Leech, currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Film making at Aberystwyth University. I've gained valuable experience working as a house parent for international children, volunteering at health-related summer camps, and contributing as a cinematographer through the BFI Film Academy, where I sharpened my film and video production skills. I'm passionate about storytelling, creativity, and helping others through my work. I have also volunteered at Oxfam, where I improved my customer service and teamwork skills. I am committed to continuous learning and time management, with a strong foundation in leadership from my Duke of Edinburgh awards. I enjoy engaging with different creative and educational projects and am eager to apply my film making knowledge in dynamic environments.
