Summary

I am a self-motivated, ambitious and hardworking individual who has recently graduated from the University of Leicester De Montfort, where I gained a 2.1 in Drama and Theatre studies.
My university life taught me discipline as well as crucial analytical skills; skills I look to develop and utilise in the future. In my last year at university
I was lucky enough to work closely with Leicester’s Curve theatre on a voluntary basis and I am now looking to further my experiences and to begin a career in Drama and Theatre.
Having returned from a post-graduation trip to the Far East and Australasia I now intend to relocate to the London area this summer to make this a possibility.
