I am a 22-year-old BA (Hons) Media graduate from Robert Gordon University with a strong passion for film, television, and media production. I have gained hands-on industry experience through working on two TV adverts—one broadcast on STV and another created for my university’s promotional campaign—and I have written, directed, filmed, produced, and edited a range of short narrative films and factual documentaries through both independent and collaborative projects. I am known for my practical, solutions-focused approach and strong problem-solving abilities. I work confidently in team environments but can also take initiative independently. In addition to my studies, I have worked in fast-paced hospitality roles that have helped me develop transferable communication, time management, teamwork and adaptability skills. I am now seeking a media apprenticeship where I can expand my practical experience, learn from industry professionals, and continue developing my creative and technical abilities within film, TV and media production.
