About me

I am a recent Graduate with a BA (Honours) Degree, First Class in Screen Studies, with the intention of pursuing Postgraduate studies. I have three years experience with Ladbrokes where, at the end of my tenure, I completed training to become Deputy Manager. I combined work with two Open University modules, one in Introduction to the Humanities the other in Creative Writing. I would be keen to develop my skill set, including admin, research, marketing and IT skills, in order to gain a foothold in an extremely competitive market. I am currently undertaking Microsoft Office eCourses through Learndirect to improve my IT skills in Office 2010. I am currently writing features for the film website 2012 movies: *, Excel, PowerPoint, Access and Wordpress.
