Job title: Digital Media Producer
Department: Centre for Excellence in Learning and Teaching
About: I am a passionate, creative Digital Marketing student who loves video creation, social media marketing, graphic design, listening to music and travelling around the World. I am not afraid to be different and I also pay huge attention to the details and that is why is my work is different from others.
Keeping up with digital trends is very important to me. I enjoy gathering precious work experiences, which will hopefully lead to my future dreams and that is why I work so hard; trying to get as many experiences as possible, improving my digital but also personal skills. The Digital Media Producer role is very important for me as this is a job where I have learnt a lot but I can also apply all my current digital skills into projects. This job covers literally everything I love to do: scrip-writing, organising, filming, editing, animations, graphic design… But for me it’s also about being a part of an amazing group of people who motivates me and being around them is just something I really enjoy. Since I started this role I noticed that I am growing but professionally and personally. I have gained so much confidence which is really useful in applying for internships and other job opportunities. It has even led to creating my own website which I use as a portfolio to promote myself to potential clients.
