Employment History & Experience

Comedy of errors
During 2010 I participated in a Shakespearian play “The Comedy of Errors.” I had to audition and gain 3 parts. This Audition was open to year tens and elevens. This play was then later performed in the Catford Broadway Theatre, for the Shakespeare's schools festival.

I also had to put together a 30min drama with a group of six people for our end of year exam, working solely off of the stimulus 'Change'.

Experience & Qualifications

General Experience

Film
I have done Voluntary work on film set with K.I.C.C TV. I volunteered as a camera operator for a full youth concert in EXCEL in 2010; I was part of a filming crew over seven days, lighting and recording guest interviews on set at the EXCEL London. As a result of this, I gained the opportunity to work with K.I.C.C TV. I attained a gold award for the review my employer gave to my school. I have also attended a course on Camera and film recording in August 2010. This was where I first worked on final cut pro and adobe photo shop. I produced the theme and story board for a trailer in that course.

Young leaders Award
This award was optional as I had passed GCES P.E a year early, along with maths and I.C.T. To achieve the award I was required to teach primary school students a sport of my choice. This opportunity gave me great social skills and I believe it has also increased my tolerance and my ability to be clam and patient.

Relevant Skills

Business
Over the summer of 2009 I worked with a team of five to market and sell bracelets, necklaces, cards and coasters of our own making. This was done over a period of a week. I was able to work with new people and acquired new business skills.

Interests & Hobbies

Basketball
I began playing basketball at the age of eleven in primary school. During secondary school I joined a basketball club in forest hill, Lewisham Thunder. During this time I was also playing basketball for my school team. In 2009 my school team were able to compete in the national school finals and placed seventh. I still take part in basketball but not competitively, simply training. I was also a member of the schools rounder’s and athletics team.


Martial arts
Currently I am studying Wing Chun Kung Fu and train at least once a week. I have always had a love for martial arts as I feel it has tremendous metal and physical effect on person as well as the principles it teaches.
