About me

The media's the most powerful industry on earth. I have just graduated from university with a 2:1 degree and wish to carry on my interest in media. It is well known that power attracts and I, like many others, have become enchanted by the power of the written and spoken word. I have a fascination in writing and images, and media brings together these two significant worlds.

I've learnt enough about the media industry, in the past five years, to realise that experience is not everything, what I cannot give in experience, I can give 100% in enthusiasm. I have written and taken photographs for the Leicester Mercury, which is one of the UK's largest local papers.

Whilst being at university, I seemed drawn to the more hands-on subjects, such as video production and photography, but I soon realised that although I was very successful in these, my highest grades came within my journalism projects and essay based questions. I enjoy writing and the courses undoubtedly helped my writing skills. Creative writing has always been one of my favourite aspects of English, and the work gave me the chance to write in whichever style I chose. One piece was a newspaper feature on the Diwali festival celebrations in Leicester, and another being a feature on international band "The Scissor Sisters". I have always been interested in photojournalism and I'm considering specialising in it at a later date.

I have often said that nothing is impossible, yet asking me to name my favourite film is asking too much. Some much loved films includes 'Oldboy' (Chan-Wook Park), 'Dumpling's' (Fruit Chan) and 'Amores Perros' (Alejandro González Iñárritu). In my opinion a good film should stir up a mixture of emotions from beginning to end. Music is another one of my passions; it can cause emotions to change within seconds and it can take you to another world with a flick of a button. Like my film tastes, my choice of music is diverse; I like anything from rock to R 'n' B, pop to grunge, and past to present. I also love criminal history, musicals, and sports.

To finish, I am enthusiastic, versatile and eager for success in the immensely exciting world of the media.
