About Me

I am honest, hard-working, reliable and stay career minded and focused on what I am driven to do. I always remind myself that I am representing an highly admired and reputable organisation, therefore, I must portray myself as extremely professional and well-mannered at all times. I do not waste time nor energy "wishing I looked wafer thin like that girl over there" and becoming rude and stand-offish because I am too green with envy.

If I am fortunate enough to receive an offer/appointment letter, telephone call or email back from your spectacular and gracious selves, only then will I believe that "somewhere over the rainbow" really does exist.

Employment History & Experience

Acting Experience
Firstly, I must say that although I have some acting experience (school plays and pantomime) I do possess all the abilities and skills to learn how to become skilled.  As a "newcomer" I have learned a lot about acting because I am a huge cinema, theatre and television fan. Also, when I was working for the National Theatre, I had to type up lengthy scripts of over 100,000 characters long.

There are numerous "Extra" roles that I could possibly fulfil, of that I am sure.

I am under no illusion that I will become a Screen Goddess overnight. All acting has a certain skill and art to it. In olden days, the now late, great actor Rudolph Valentino, Hollywood superstar, started out by daily washing by hand, hundreds of filthy, dirty dishes in a restaurant. He never would have  imagined, at the time, that he would become one of the greatest silent movie stars the world has ever known.

Employment History & Experience

I am a relatively new-comer to the Modelling world and in January 2016 I was invited by a glamour photographer to have my first photo shoot.  You will notice that within my portfolio pictures a decision was made on that occasion that I do not need to change into alternative garments. Unfortunately, time was extremely limited due to the photographer running behind schedule.

I may not have the Catwalk experience as yet, but all aspiring models have to start somewhere.

I truly believe that every person, male or female, is a model in their own special way. A large lady has curves to die for, but, then again, so does a slim one.

When a relation of mine was Editor and owner for a multi-cultural magazine, (aimed at an Black female audience), I was one of the panel judges for their Fashion Show. I also assisted with the preparation - organising the venue, arranging catering, interviewing waitresses and waiters, negotiating costs of Limousine hire, liaising with local press and media.

Being and becoming a model, has endless opportunities. The industry does not discriminate. I think everyone has the potential to be a model. Some people just do not try hard enough.  or, simply, just cannot be bothered

I may be just a beginner and not possess ample modelling experience but I do possess the drive and stamina to become one. I believe a model must possess the following qualities:

* Beauty
* Style
* Class
* Imagination
* Ambition

I sincerely hope that with (your) exquisite expertise and support, I shall eventually be able to fulfil my dream of becoming a successful Model.

Dancing
The only dancing experience(s) I can personally relate to is the fact that I grew up within a family of singers and dancers. From a very early age I was taught to dance by my momma. The only dancing experience(s) I can personally relate to is the fact that I grew up within a family of singers and dancers. From a very early age I was taught to dance by my momma. She would often make me dance in public, singing out loud and clapping her hands. Because I was just a tot, not more than four years old, I just went along with it all and I would spin and twist and turn. When she stopped singing the crowds would applaud really loudly and throw coins, never any notes, but that was, the sign of the times.

Now that I am fully grown I appreciate all aspects of dancing, such as, ballet, tap, salsa, country & western, jive, rockabilly. I really wish I had the skills and expertise of the choreographers’ of today. It is such an art of perfection to know how to teach people to dance.



Administrative Supporting Statement
Within all my roles it is extremely important to provide proactive services to all. I have ample experience of working within a customer service environment and am totally sentient of the importance of providing high levels of service delivery and customer care. For example; I ensure that my areas of work are kept extremely immaculate, I answer all calls within two rings and return all voicemails and email messages with immediate effect. I completely acknowledge all received correspondences upon receipt and ensure that a full response is sent by close of play. Further, when receiving guests or internal/external associates, I always greet them most welcoming – offer to take their coat, assist with their enquiries (directions , public information) and always offer to make their refreshments.

I enjoy being first point of contact for the Arts Council because I have an extremely confident, out-going personality and an enormous sense of humour. Within any of my roles it is important to have these qualities because I am meeting, greeting and conversing with hundreds of people every day and therefore representing organisations. On many occasions the feedback that my managers receive concerning my performance from internal and external people is always highly positive and complimentary.

I am aware of the importance of diversity and I ensure that all people are treated fairly and equally. Within all my working environments particular service provision has been provided for people from within our multi-cultural society and it is important that access and services are provided for all. For example; wheelchair access into and around all premises, Braille and BSL interpreters provided where necessary, and literature translated into various foreign languages.

Throughout all my work experiences I have liaised with a wide range of people. Regardless of whom I am talking or meeting with, I am always extremely courteous and listen attentively without interrupting. When speaking over the telephone I am always polite (good morning/afternoon, how may I help you?) and, should the caller be holding for a short while I politely say ‘sorry to keep you waiting’. Sometimes I do have to deal with angry and irate staff or clients, but I always remain calm and attempt to resolve their concern quickly and efficiently. By doing this I was able to ease any of their frustrations. I have also returned follow up courtesy calls to see whether their enquiry was dealt with efficiently and effectively.

I have the ability to manage my working time effectively. For example; when planning and prioritising my daily duties I at first check my voicemails and emails for any urgent messages and then make constant checks throughout the day. I regularly refer to my calendar on Outlook and prepare beforehand any papers required for meetings that are to take place.

I am very flexible and can carry out my daily responsibilities whether lone working or within a team setting. For example; the sharing of information and I have often deputised on behalf of colleagues, sometimes without the need to be asked first.

I believe that it is important that colleagues assist one another within the working environment because not only does this promote effective team building, it also reflects a positive professional image both inside and outside of the organisations.
