After working within both a Media and Music environment over the last few years, I am looking to develop my skills further in a more challenging role
still within a creative industry. I have completed various work experience placements within different fields over time; mainly PA and Administration
roles, and am eager to use what I have learnt through these experiences and use them to my greatest ability. Having already gained experience in
various sectors, I am very keen to stay working within a Creative industry where my true passions lie and where I can really use the skills I have
obtained from my previous exceptional roles.
