I grew up with music around me, taught the cello and piano from a young age and percussion and the drum set for a local band. I studied music (and harmony) at Secondary School followed by composing from when I was at school till now. I have a passion for films, shown by my PostGraduate in acting at Arts Educational and acting, directing and composing for plays and later videos and films. Growing up with music notation (reading and writing music) I have developed further improvisation and composing and creating music instruments with synthesizers using a Digital Audio Workstation. Other than singing in a choir from when I was young, playing the drum set in a band, playing the keyboard in a Spanish touring band and playing solo cello for a professional play in a theatre has given me good experience.As Digital Marketing Consultant it is important that I understand where you are coming from. Having over 25 years experience teaching and training has certainly given me the personal skills.Having run my company from 2009 I've become very aware of the importance of marketing that has given me the opportunity to develop my skills to make a valuable contribution. These years of technical learning and training people on behalf of Google have given me the knowledge and experience necessary to learn to show you how to apply the marketing skills necessary to help your business take off!With my animation company, CZA Studios, I specialised in Whiteboard Animation and work has included for a top-tiered consultancy company, PwC and universities. My coding has been used for BBC for the series The Body Farm, Inspector Lewis and Hustle.
