HELLO! I’M HELENA WERP
On this site you can read about me and see my work!
ABOUT
My passion in life is, and has always been, to learn and adapt to how technology evolves. The truth is that you can never know everything about programming, which is exactly why I love it. It challenges me to always expand my knowledge and experience. My background as a gamer on YouTube and active streamer on Twitch laid my foundation in the world of IT and as I progress in my degree I can not wait to start my own projects.
Keep exploring my site to learn more about me, and feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
MY EXPERIENCE
CONTENT CREATOR, ALLER MEDIA AS
May 2015 - January 2017
Working for Aller Media's teen magazine ToppGirl my main responsibility was to pitch video ideas for their YouTube channel. I also worked as the "face" for some of these series and helped with editing if this was needed. In this position I learned how to juggle multiple projects at the same time, which has proven valuable in later work and in my studies.
PROMOTER & SELLER, RUSSEDRESS AS
August 2019 - September 2019
As a promoter for the Norwegian company "Russedress" I drove around to schools in Oslo telling teens about the clothes they could buy from us. If they were interested in buying something they would sign our form with their contact details and I would meet them at the office at a later time and help them with sizes. I worked full days everyday for two weeks as this was a temporary campaign that the we offered schools.
DOOR-TO-DOOR NEWSPAPER SELLER, MD AS
January 2013 - June 2016
My job at Media Distribusjon AS mainly consisted of selling newspapers door-to-door every Sunday morning at 10am. As my first job I learned the importance of consistency and how to work in the given times.
CONTENT CREATOR, YOUTUBE & TWITCH
May 2015 - Present
I have through many years created my own content on YouTube and Twitch, with a main focus on video games. This was at one point a job, but it's now a hobby on the side of my other projects/jobs. My channel has given me many great opportunities, as for example I got to guest a Norwegian morning show to talk about how video games can be a good addition to kids everyday life.
EDUCATION
What I’ve Learned
MY SKILLS
NORWEGIAN & ENGLISH FLUENTLY
I can speak, write and understand Norwegian and English fluently. I also understand Swedish and Danish.
BASIC JAVA
I'm now in my first year of Computer Science at university and one of our modules is teaching Java. As of right now I'm still in the early stages, but I do know the basics to object-oriented programming and I learn new things everyday.
ADOBE SOFTWARE
I've worked with software like Premiere Pro, InDesign, Lightroom, Illustrator and Photoshop for many years. These skills has proven useful in both school and personal projects.
PHOTOGRAPHY
The summer of 2019 I briefly worked as a freelance festival and concert photographer. This is a hobby and skill I take good care of during the summers as this is when I have time to take on projects like these. I know my way around a DSLR camera and rarely leave the house without one.
