I completed a three-year Bachelor’s degree in Media and Communications with Spanish at the University of Sussex, attaining a 2:1. During my time there I gained extensive knowledge of the role the media plays in shaping our society, culture and worldview. As such my academic learning has not only grown my fascination with the industry but also greatly aided in developing my creative pursuits in film and video production.I lived and was educated in Beijing, China from 1996 until starting university in 2014. I am a native speaker of both English and Mandarin with high-intermediate Spanish. My strengths and ambition are both in filmmaking and I am hoping to pursue a career in TV/video/film production.An integral part of my progression in the creative field was working at my university’s Television Station – UniTV. Here I cultivated most of my skills in production, directing, acting as well as editing. Having edited numerous videos for our station I am proficient in professional grade softwares including Premiere Pro, Audition and Photoshop. I have also taken on other key roles including presenter, cameraman, sound recordist, grip, set designer and many more. Of major significance was producing and directing our yearly live stream talk show for the annual Student Union Elections. Some of our proudest projects have even won several NaSTA (National Student Television Association) awards. I am well-versed in many aspects of production. Having worked as an Assistant Station Manager and correspondingly an Executive Committee Member, I also have extensive hands-on experience carrying out daily workflow, including reviewing operational documents, emailing, administrative support, as well as internal and external communication of the station. UniTV has provided me with invaluable skills and experiences working in an authentic production environment with some of the most talented and creative individuals I have ever met.On a personal level, I consider myself hardworking, organised, diligent, a self-disciplined individual and a dedicated team player. From personal experience, I am also very flexible and able to pick up new skills quickly. I am confident I have a solid set of skills and experiences which make me a strong candidate for various roles which will serve to progress myself further in the industry and in the direction of my aspired career path.
