CAREER SUMMARY
I am an enthusiastic and motivated individual with a passion for moving image, graphic
and it drives me. It excites and inspires me. From photography and editing, to journalism
and presenting, the capacity of the medium to entertain and inform is stimulating. I have
made some short films at University tackling strong issues and also I have a good
language interpreting skill. I would like to continue with my passion for film making
within a broadcasting environment.
My long-term career goal is to secure a position as an editor, cameraman or
photographer in the creative industries.
