In my previous workplace, I was responsible for planning, implementation and development of a training project in Apple’s Final Cut Pro and Adobe Production Software. This is a fully-featured video editing tool. This course was open to both university and non-university students in industry and would run over weekends and week-evenings for short periods. This course was also intended to attract potential partners and collaboration with industry specialists.

My freelance work has provided the opportunity to work in and with individuals in the industry, mainly from links I developed in London Film Academy, where I did some freelance weekend training. In this capacity, I work with and train film and documentary makers and editors. The institution was equipped with the latest state of the art technology and software. I have had the opportunity to attend premieres of feature films and documentaries on which I have had the privilege of working.
