Amy was a very diligent student, constantly focused with a great work ethic. While achieving great results at university she kept up her social life living a good work/ study/social balance. I would recommend her for your company as she brings the light heartedness to work place along with completing the tasks required of her along with going over and beyond.

      Videography and photography has always been a hobby of mine but has slowly turned into a passion that fuels my creativity! Everything from the initial planning, to capturing footage, to the post-production is exciting. The ability to draw out emotions from the audience with the right music, or a still shot of a landscape that makes one nostalgic is the reason that I have tried to learn as much as I can about this art expression. The power of media has become a well known fact, but the ability to make the audience feel something is an achievement that never grows old. I hope to continue my work in this industry & learn more with each day.
