Creative Media student Alessia is the definition of determined. First in line to take on extra projects or volunteer opportunities, her work ethic cannot be faulted.
Choosing to attend Richmond upon Thames College because of the welcoming environment and advanced facilities, she says it has made her “actually love education for once.”
She is passionate about many areas of production, allowing her to explore different skills and environments, to practice new skills and broaden her future prospects.
“Failure is your best friend”
Alessia sights her biggest achievements at college as being involved in the West London Film Competition, GROWIN podcast with entrepreneur Sandy Khan, and taking part in The Turing Scheme in Vancouver, Canada.
Encouraging others: “you will have incredible opportunities handed to you on a silver dish if you work hard for it.”
She is inspired by the ambition of senior leaders and trailblazers in her field, planning to make a “breakthrough” in production during her career, and is eager to learn as much as possible!
Alessia hopes to complete an internship at Warner Brothers after finishing college and gain top tier experience, with the long-term goal of becoming a director and producer.
Her words of wisdom to peers and future students are: “Failure is your best friend. You will work it all out.”
