I'm multi-skilled and enthusiastic / motivated. I'm easy to work with and have a keen sense of curiosity / I love learning...
I'm good at thinking through things in detail, seeing multiple perspectives (/emotional intelligence), coming up with new ideas. Bad at repeating the same mindless tasks endlessly so work needs to be mentally stimulating and varied! :)Worked with various TV companies e.g. BBC Current Affairs, BBC Drama, OR Media, The Edge Picture Company, etc -as well as other companies (also run my own entrepreneurial companies).Formal Education:
Three degrees from top UK Universities:
1) Masters degree -Television Journalism, City, London.
2) Masters degree -Acting -Drama Centre London/Central Saint Martins, UAL.
3) MA / BA (Oxford upgrades your BA to an MA after a certain number of years!!) -English Language and Literature -Oxford University, Pembroke College.If relevant/of interest -! -school: Saint Mary's Calne, Wiltshire, UK: A levels: A, A, B and GCSE's: A*, A*, A*, A*, A, A, A, A, B - (still not great at Maths re the B)!
____________________________________________________I'm a trained TV Journalist / Reporter / Presenter (TV Journalism Masters). Key areas of interest -animals (and animal rights), travel, and... learning (my keen sense of curiosity means that I can get immersed in almost anything)!I'm also a trained Actress (European Classical Acting Masters) and Writer (Oxford University English BA/ MA, 20 years experience). I've worked as a freelance videographer, photographer and voiceover artist and have my own professional 4K equipment and professional mic/studio set up. I haven't edited videos in a while but used to (e.g. did all the videos on my old youtube channel and various videos for companies) and can re-learn on these skills if needed (was proficient in FCP 7). I've also worked with hundreds of clients as an acting coach and public speaking trainer and these skills are transferrable -for example to help with casting, directing small projects, etc. I also have a range of other skills e.g. I've worked as a marketing manager for two companies (some time ago) and marketed my own businesses for decades, have random skills too eg currently learning Procreate/digital art. Love learning, strong sense of curiosity.Please see all of my websites below for more information.I am able to work in a wide variety of roles using these skills -here are some possibilities with any current limitations in experience outlined e.g:
