I'm passionate about film making. I have a degree in it and I love volunteering my skills to community projects and friends who show an interest. One day in the future I'd love to make some money from it and turn it into more than just a hobby. For now, that line of work remains hard to break into and I'm focusing on getting into a construction role.
My housing problems began when I was was evicted from a flat I was renting. I was studying at the time and wasn't getting enough work to keep up with rent. I spent some time living at my partners after that but when it didn't work out I had no choice to get help from the council. I'm now living in a hostel where I've been getting help with employment and transitioning to private rented housing.
I have some painting and decorating experience so I'm not new to construction. l'll be concentrating on finding work as a labourer and alongside that, I want to get experience in a trade so I'll be doing some electrician training too!
Being able to move out and be independent is an important step for me. My goal is to be financially secure and one day have my own film studio. I'd like to make my children proud and show them that if you work hard you can reach your dreams.
