Key Skills:
My study at the Leeds Metropolitan University has equipped me with a wide range of IT, and Media related skills. the course included elements such as: maths, electronics, communication principles, graphics, music, programming (visual basic, HTML), 3D Modelling, and video techniques. Many of these elements were combined and incorporated into individual and group project work. Due to the nature of my degree, I have had to obtain a variety of IT skills. I am particularly proficient with the Windows environment, and have experience of many of the industry standard software packages. Now that the Multimedia possibilities of the Internet are being realised, I have developed a working knowledge of HTML, and it�s associated technologies. I am a highly motivated and determined individual, able to adopt a relaxed attitude to overcoming difficulties on my own, or as part of a team. I can acquire skills quickly, and I am confident of my own abilities.
