Personal Profile:_______________________________________________________________________________
There’s two words which can describe my personality; passionate and creative. From a young age I always felt the
need to create and be part of a team. As I am very organized and persistent as a person when it relates to any work I
put myself up to, I make sure I always deliver the best possible result. One of my key characteristics as a person is
being very responsible for anything I am in charge for and very obedient and prompt. Working as part of a group
has taught me the many challenges team work offers, but also that one’s weakness is another’s advantage, and vice
versa. Working hard and having eager appetite for creating in the Media business is my main target in creating and
be involved in worthwhile projects/productions in the industry.
