About me

I would like to take this opportunity to give you a brief overview of my previous experience and what I feel I can confidently bring to my future employer. I am a bright, creative and motivated individual wishing to gain further experience within the creative industries. Below are some examples of my career to date which display my skills and abilities.

In July 2004 I graduated with a BA in Art History from the University of Sussex and I resided in the heart of Brighton for 3 years. Since graduating from university I have maintained full-time employment within the arts and media domains.

I am experienced in client and public facing roles within marketing and advertising, as well as the art industries, with strong skills in organisation and presentation. I have proven and demonstrable skills in not only the private sector, but also the public and media domains. I have keen attention to detail and presentation in everything I attend to which I believe are two of my strongest attributes.

Previously as an Account Executive for a marketing company I was responsible for several high-profile accounts. My role was to assist with project management and help co-ordinate and participate in design, artwork, new media, film, print, photography and copy writing - thus giving me the opportunity to gain experience in a variety of creative mediums.

The skill set I have developed from working in marketing and advertising include being highly client orientated, well organised and prioritising my work-load while working calmly under pressure and to be openly pro-active to any challenge given to me. Both the advertising and marketing fields enabled me to develop the necessary relationship skills with clients and the media and to work efficiently under pressure to strict deadlines imposed by the client and media.

I am fully versed in all the familiar computer software including all Microsoft Office programmes as well as the creative programmes - Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and Quark Express.
