Imi McPherson

In 2021 I graduated from The Iver Makeup Academy in Pinewood Studios and am now working as a trainee in the industry. I have spent the past year and a half working on films and television series around London. My background studying film has enabled me to have a unique outlook on my work and how I go about various problem solving tasks. I have excellent communication skills and I love working both as a team and independently. I work calmly and well under pressure. As well as this I am very organised, punctual and a reliable employee.
