I am an experienced social media manager and content writer. I have lots of experience writing theatre scripts and engaging story lines. I have ran social media accounts in the past and good experience in creative areas such as self-created brands and accounts which expect very regular interactions. I have experience with video scripts such as tiktok, YouTube and Instagram reels. I am skilled in light and sound design and have a wealth to experience designing and promoting graphical content through mediums such as social media and in-print advertising. I have lead a marketing campaign for my production company and have developed relationships with a variety of personnel in the theatre and film industry. I am primary school teacher who has trained in people management, pressure management and one-to-one interaction. I focus on maximising the potential of each individual child or client and use their own interests to tailor my role to meet their needs best. I have spent time on set and working with people on a close and face-to-face basis and this has taught me the value of creativity. I pride myself on my work and understand the value of time and money to ensure the most efficient and cost-effective method is used to reach the determined goal and doing so to the highest possible standards. I don't settle for less than the absolute best I can do and I am somewhat of a perfectionist when working on a project which I am leading. I currently work full time as a freelancer and I am available on full time hourly basis as needed. I am fluent in English, Spanish and Gaelic languages and regular write scripts in these tongues. I prioritise quality and couple this with my own desire for high yielding media.
