Summary

I am a postgraduate of Dublin City University. I have finished my fourth year of studies in Media and English and I have studied in St. Mary’s Twickenham in the UK to study Film and Screen Media and Professional Writing. I am determined in working in media production/ editing and writing. I have worked on various projects in film and video production. But I am in the process of seeking work with individuals adept in these areas. I am looking to spend as much time in a professional environment in which I can learn and refine my skills in this area and progress in this field.

I am also a skilled writer having produced reviews, scripts and in depth film studies within my niche studies. I am passionate about creating, compelling content and driving engagement. I am talented at crafting dynamic stories, informative articles and persuasive copy that resonate and inspires readers.

I am a hardworking and passionate job seeker with strong organizational skills eager to secure entry-level writing or media production positions. Ready to help any team achieve company goals.
