About me

I am currently in my final year at University of Westminster,

Media & Communications course, from which I will be graduating in

early May. My studies provided me with the necessary multimedia skills

in order to thrive in a digitally driven organisation as well as with

the possibility to engage in PR and editorial tasks. In order to

amplify my knowledge of cultural project development, I have been

offered a place for a Masters Degree in Cultural Studies at Goldsmiths

University London, Lund University Sweden and University of Amsterdam,

however I have decided to postpone this decision and immerse myself in

practical work with a suitable job that will stimulate my creativity

and entrepreneurial skills alike.

My main interest has always been in the cultural sector and how it can

be blended with commercial interests so as to foster a creative

working environment. Because I have already undertaken a few

internships in the creative field, I realised this is what I would

like to do for the rest of my life, with a long-term ambition to

create a cultural hub where arts and commerce converge in order to

enhance social innovation. I am constantly attending cultural

workshops, talks and networking events in London which inspired me to

pursue a similar path in the field. Inspired by projects such as the

Tuttle club, NESTA and TEDx, I believe a successful type of management

and marketing is based on open communication channels, balanced on-

and off-line cooperation and receptivity to original ideas.

I have a strong background in event production, as I am currently an

event coordinator for an arts & music festival in Transylvania,

Romania. I am also a crucial member of the PR and marketing team,

coordinating the festival promotion physically and across online media

via our website, Twitter, Facebook, and other festival-related

websites. In the period preceding and following our event we are

devising budget schemes, production tools and third party liaison, as

well as harnessing valuable data, researching our public's behaviour

and reaction to certain promotional tools, increasing participation

through newsletters, campaigns, social media etc. In addition, during

the festival I am constantly supervising the overall progression of

the events, making sure briefs are met and that our volunteers are

keeping good track of their duties. You will also notice other

relevant experience that I have undertaken, including radio

production, internships at the Romanian Cultural Centre in London, at

a music booking agency etc.

I possess great leadership aptitudes, as well as the ability to work

within a team and coordinate its members in a friendly, yet firm

manner. My communication skills are excellent, developed both as a

media student and through other jobs I undertook in England, as well

as in my home country. The projects I got involved in both

individually and as part of my course enabled me to gain thorough

experience in pro-sociability and emotional intelligence so as to

engage in dynamic conversations and preserve a pleasant environment.

Additionally, I have a genuine passion for the arts which is revealed

through my constant visits at London's artistic hubs, as well as my

work and activity as a blogger and media curator. Furthermore, I have

a keen interest in arts management, as you can deduct from my

experience in this field. I am a highly organised and literate person

and I believe this job opportunity will provide an excellent working

environment and experience which I can eventually incorporate further

in my Masters studies.

If you learn I am a suitable candidate, don't hesitate to get in

touch, I look forward to receiving your reply.
