Personal Statement
I have recently graduated with a degree in Special
Effects for Film and TV in which I specialised in
Props, Modelmaking and SFX make-up. I am highly
motivated and hardworking individual with the
ability to work well under pressure. These skills have
been demonstrated in the successful completion of
various make-up competitions along with college
and university assignments. Good time management
and organisational skills facilitated the completion of
each of my projects to a specific deadline. These
projects were completed with great attention to detail
which resulted in final pieces that of a very high
standard.
