My Interest in the Media & Broadcast Industry Goes back more than 10 years. I recall watching the television back in the mid 1990's. Kate Aide was reporting the conflicts from Northern Ireland & Kosovo. She was an inspiration to me. I was only about 7-8 but i thought to myself i want to do that. A few more years passed then one xmas about 10 years ago my parents brought me her autobiography. At first i just marvelled at the pictures. Slowly though I made my way through the book from cover to cover! From then on it was set in stone I wanted to be a war correspondent! Seeig the world, the good and the bad, Living on the edge!
Soon after that we got a computer at home, it became part of my surfing habbit ti check out the news online as to me at the age of 11 tis was a wonderful new concept surfing the internet looking up & resarching subjects i enjoyed!
At the age of 15 i had my own coolum kates corner in a mental health magazine called The Juiter run by a dear friend of mine who has unfortanely passed on now. there i took up the voluntry post of editor. I loved it! I love being creative and creative writing, working on the jupiter allowed me to do this to best of my ability, it also taught me alot of people skills too! on many ocasions i would have to chase people up regarding their artices. Of course one was polite but extremely firm! As the company was souly a volutry group and with out peoples articles we had no content to print.
At the age of 17 i appeared on a Californian Radio show in San Louis Obispo the show Issues and Ideas presented by the programme manger Guy Rathburn looks at local Issues & ideas within the central California area. I made my debut on 16th January 2005 i was interviewed about the work of John Mayo Internatioanl Healer, how he has helped me over the years, what i thought about the future of the Media Industry, & my aspirations for the future. A truly wonderful experience! One i shall never forget!
So here i am now, despite my diffcaulties & being told by many people you'll never do it. I'm here doing it now studying a foundation degree. My aspirations for the future well 10 years ago i was adament about being a journalist. now as i have ventured into various aspects of the media industry both through my own personal experiences & through my Btec National Dipoma in Media Movin Image last year, My career ideas have become alot more varied. I know my strengths lie in pre-production & production, i enjoy researching, produceing and script writing, in my spare time i am endevouring to write my own sitcom. I have over come my phobia of video editing and relatively speaking enjoy it now.
My dream come true would be to graduate onto my 3rd year at Bath Spa, pass my degree course with a good grade knowing i have done my very best! At the end of my course it is my ambition to set up my own independant company K8-Productions.
