Personal Statement
I am an extremely hard working individual. I fully appreciate that in this industry experience
is invaluable, I hope this ethos can be seen from my list of voluntary work, which I have
undertaken whilst all the while being at University and working for Vision Events. I relish
new challenges, and take every opportunity to learn new skills and meet new people. I would
have to say my primary passion is for lighting. However, as you will see below I have been
working hard to acquire the skills so I can also now work as a sound technician as required.
