Editor and videographer

"I’m an editor, videographer and social media manager working remotely from Japan.

"I mostly work for companies in Aotearoa, but when I can, I do various projects for companies in Japan as well.

"The projects I work on vary, but they always involve some creative aspect such as filming, directing, editing or photography.

"Being able to choose my own schedule and working for both New Zealand and Japan have definitely been highlights. I love that I can still be creative and work in this industry without having to start my career from scratch, just because I’m living abroad.

"The practical courses I took during my BA gave me the confidence for entering the real-world workforce. I learned the practical skills I needed, and to work with other creatives and people of different backgrounds.

"The theoretical courses helped me expand my knowledge of film and TV, beyond the directors and media that I already knew.

"I chose to study an Arts degree because I’ve always wanted to work in the media industry. What I learned set me up to build my own portfolio outside of university."
