Personal Statement
Personal Profile
I’m incredibly enthusiastic when it comes to learning new things and building on already existing skills I have. Any chance to grow and build up myself should always be taken. I’m incredibly passionate about Tv and film. I will take almost any opportunity to work within the industry, whether its sound, lighting, camera working, editing or running. Each opportunity is a chance to build on what skills I may have or learn new ones completely.

USC fashion
Working in the USC store involves a lot of varied roles, due to the stores having several departments to work in, I had to be able to know how to serve and hold up the standards of, footwear, denim, tills, stockroom as well as men's and ladies’ clothing/textiles. Mainly I would place in stockroom, or footwear which tends to be the busiest areas of the store. Footwear tends to take the most money, and stockroom has the responsibility of making sure those in footwear get footwear checks smoothly as well as being responsible for any delivery. While in footwear I would have to serve customers as well as make sure standards are kept high. Due to being there for a while it has become basic knowledge to know about what people buy in certain seasons and when the busiest time of the year are, this has allowed me to figure out how to handle certain situations like serving more than one customer at a time whilst making sure pace is decent. In short working at USC has taught me how to deal with pressure.

Interests
I am deeply interested in video games and interested in art, I spend a lot of my time listening to music and trying to find new genres. I also enjoy acting a lot. I am interested in photography but do not know much about it. I plan on trying lots of new things throughout my life like learning to play new instruments, learning other sports or hobbies. I also watch a lot of TV shows, I am very interested in media, whether it be movies, TV, music, even radio. I plan on going to university to study their course on media if all goes well. Outside of all of this I have a great interest in MMA, it’s a sport that trains both the body and mind.it keeps you physically fit and keeps you constantly thinking. Most of my time is spent within all these areas of interest, if I have free time I’m using it to explore some form of expressive art, creative media or train. it's where my passion lies and it's where I thrive.
