Employment history:

 I have been included in many television productions, these include Casualty, Pobol y Cwm and Gavin and Stacey for the BBC.

Within this placement I believe I have gained an insight into the working life of the media, and gained important skills such as, working within a team. Currently I have become involved with a small comedy series called ‘Whites’ starring ‘Stephen Fry’, this can be viewed on BBC 2 on week nights. I enjoyed this time immensely and am anxious to pursue a career within this industry.
