Experience
10/02/19 - 14/02/19
Intern, Screen Scene , 31 Mount Street Upper, Dublin
It was an excellent learning experience because I was able to sit down and see how people edited
and cut advertisements, animated using different programs, and how to work in sound design. I was
responsible for refreshments, bringing coffee and snacks into meetings, getting people’s lunches
and supplies for events, as well as keeping the kitchens and work areas in the office clean and
orderly.
Worked as a teaching assistant at a kids summer camp teaching how to make different crafts. I really
enjoyed getting to help kids learn new skills, and finding ways to navigate a chaotic environment. I
also was providing help to portfolio students by providing examples of work that got me into IADTs
animation corse.

Volunteer, DSPCA , Mount Venus Rd, Rathfarnham, Dublin
I worked with the dogs in the rehabilitation center. I also helped clean the kennels daily and fed the
dogs at breakfast and lunch, as well as walking and playing with them. I assisted in bringing dogs to
the vet for surgery and keeping them relaxed while there. I was responsible for the socialization of
the dogs in making them more comfortable around people, making them ready for rehoming.

to work to deadlines.
- I initiated and run a Dungeons and Dragons club in my school. This has helped me to
improve my organizational and leadership skills as I needed to teach the members how to

been going for over a year now.

Hobbies
- In my spare time I draw and animate which helps me to develop my creativity.

scene is framed or cut to create a tone or feel. This helps me in developing my own skills in
film and editing.

detail.
