Relevant personal skills:

Communications Skills
I am a natural communicator used to making presentations both inside and outside the classroom. I was involved in student government during the first two years at Queen’s University and I was the Student Representative for the MA Course at the University of Sussex..
My experience in film production has taught me such skills as delegating, fundraising, negotiating, and marketing. It also gave me an opportunity to work with a wide variety of people.

Analytical Skills
I have made presentations based on interpretative analyses of critical theory and research. Most recently, I conducted a seminar on East Asian economics incorporating historical and economic facts in a media context. I have the ability to set budgets and to meet them as a result of my experience in student government and in film production.

Creativity
While studying at Queen’s University in Kingston, I participated in a project to raise funds for student film production. We held monthly screenings at an auditorium and charged admission. I anticipated a net gross of $2,500 Canadian but in the end we achieved a total of $4,200.
