9. I left school after taking my GCSE’s and immediately decided
that I wanted to work in the publishing industry. My reason for
making this choice of career is because I like to be creative.
After applying for jobs in publishing I soon discovered that
previous experience or qualifications was needed. It was at this
stage that I decided to enrol on a 2 year GNVA Advanced Course
in Media studies at Bromley College. After completing the first
year, finances became a bit strained, and I desperately needed to
work. I was fortunate enough to secure employment as a
Production Assistant for a company based in London and I stayed
there for 2 years. I then joined a Croydon based publishing
company nearer home. During my 4 years at this company we
won several ‘Best Publication Awards’. These were very
rewarding times and I was able to display my flair for creativity
and design.
My confidence in all aspects of publishing magazines had grown,
I decided I was ready for a fresh challenge and joined a larger
publishing company in Soho, London. I am currently a
Production/Studio Manager.
My sustained commitment is evident in the 6 years I have spent
as a local hospital radio DJ, during which time I financed my own
7 day radio course and was able to express my creativeness in a
number of ways.
I enjoying playing golf, and going Sking. I try and go sking once
a year, and play golf twice a month. I am a heavy Arsenal
supporter, and also follow Harlequins. I go down my local gym 3
times a week, which keep me fit and in shape.
Inside my porfolio is a range of web design and print design
work that I have designed, and have been heavy involved with
designing.
