Profile:

Summary

I am currently looking to relocate to the United States for work. I am not an American citizen and would therefore require sponsorship however, as an Australian I am an incredibly hard-working, passionate, and a dedicated candidate.


My primary experience is in the media industry having worked in pre/post production for over ten years. I have found the skills I have learnt in Administration, coordination and entertainment to be transferable, utilising them to also work as an executive assistant for an MP in the Australian Labour Party.


For the past four years I have been living and working in London and currently lead the Syndication Department for Turner Broadcasting. I am looking to expand my skills and broaden my horizons by making the move to the US.


I would be incredibly grateful for any opportunities you may have to offer.


Kindest Regards,

Stacey Eastoe
