I am friendly, enthusiastic and hardworking. My good interpersonal skills ensure that I work well as a member of a team. During my teaching placements at The Oratory School and St Edwards Preparatory I found that I was able to relate and share my knowledge effectively with the pupils. This experience developed a passion in me for teaching. Due to my proficiency in composing, computing and graphics, my experience in film production and sound design, and the learning I undertook through my degrees I am able to work effectively to a high standard. This has also provided me with invaluable skills in further developing my music, music technology and film production expertise, with my PGCE and placement at Gorseinon College further advanced my teaching skills.
