About

I've somehow been lucky enough to always be around people off all ages and walks of life. The most important thing that they, as a collective character, have taught me, is that the only constant is change. As for my second most important understanding, which I concluded after spending most of my childhood watching every film I could get my hands on and travelling around with my family, is that the world is big. That was very exciting to me. I'm assuming now that these facts contributed greatly to my decision of pursuing a career in the media and entertainment industries. It seemed only logical: -tell and listen to stories about everything and anything? check -potentially learn new things from all fields and domains? check -be able to do this job anywhere and, hence, be free to travel or relocate if wanted? check Sounds good to me. My greatest satisfaction comes from discovering and understanding new things; whether it's a foreign cuisine, a tiny countryside village with a killer view of the sea or a funky layout for call sheets which makes them more compact and easier to read. I want to know about it all.
