Personal Statement
Student currently studying at The Henley College in Henley. I hope to one day work within the media
industry whilst traveling the world, meeting new people and making a difference with my work. I have a
specific interest in video editing and enjoy being able to bring every aspect of the puzzle together at the
end. I have learnt to be in a working environment from a relatively young age and had my first weekend job
at the age of 14. Because of this I am confident of my ability to work intelligently and efficiently as part of a
team.
