I’m Huriyyah, a current PR & Journalism student at Leeds Beckett University. I’m a friendly person with a natural flair for creativity. My willingness to meet new people and desire to do the best in everything I do (from presentations in class to the customer service in my part-time job) are assets that I believe will help me excel in my desired field of PR and Marketing. Engagement with new audiences and colleagues is something that has been developed from the clients of a home-made business I set up six years ago. I have designed and created henna art from a young age and turned it into a freelance business over time. This has allowed me to showcase my skills via Instagram (@huriyyahhenna) and also develop professionalism, making connections from the Asian wedding/beauty industry along the way. During my first year at University, I took part in a short-term placement at BOXmedia, a video marketing agency in North Leeds. This was my first PR experience, and I was able to further develop my technical skills in programs such as excel, photoshop, and CyberLink video editing software. Studying 3 Languages at GCSE, including Spanish, Urdu, and German, shaped my enthusiasm for foreign languages. This directed me to further pursue Spanish as an A Level and allowed me to take part in an exchange program where I live in Madrid for a week. I was able to develop communication and key interpersonal skills that I do not think I would have been able to attain from elsewhere. My current career goals include obtaining a placement year in either PR or Marketing, or both, within the film industry, and further developing my career in this field upon graduation Social media links where you can find me include; https://twitter.com/hsakebpr https://www.linkedin.com/in/huriyyah-sakeb-6930ba173/ https://www.instagram.com/huriyyahhenna/?hl=en https://cinefilmgirl.wordpress.com/
