      Activities and Societies: Class Leader (Final Year) I Graduated from Staffordshire University with a 2:1 BA Hons in Multimedia Graphics. During my time there I became a class leader (which meant attending meetings regarding the course and how it was ran whilst presenting any ideas/feedback from peers), was a striker for a 7-a-side winning team 2 years on the trot, managed to burst a glow stick in my eye, ate too much, set my PC on fire (damn graphics card), met some incredible people that I never imagined socialising with, worked on some… Show more I Graduated from Staffordshire University with a 2:1 BA Hons in Multimedia Graphics. During my time there I became a class leader (which meant attending meetings regarding the course and how it was ran whilst presenting any ideas/feedback from peers), was a striker for a 7-a-side winning team 2 years on the trot, managed to burst a glow stick in my eye, ate too much, set my PC on fire (damn graphics card), met some incredible people that I never imagined socialising with, worked on some industry projects, borrowed a shopping trolly (apparently thats university tradition), danced a bit, drank a bit more, laughed even more. In the process I managed to learn some incredible skills such as Marketing, Photography, Web Design, Film, Graphic Design, Design for TV, Game Design, 3D Modelling and a few more skills that are stored in the deepest part of my brain.University was and still remains the best days of my life!

      Oct 2010 - Dec 2010
      Technical instructor

      Working with the Graphic Design and Design and Communication students, I was asked to not only share industry experience but also demonstrate modules assigned by the course leader. In some cases I devised my own modules as the course leader was keen for students to create their own material rather than copy tutorials on screen.I inevitably learnt a lot about myself during my time at Chester. Although petrified to begin with I came into my own very quickly and it felt rewarding that I could offer something back to avid learners. I didn't really try to adapt a teaching style it was more a case of getting on the level of 18-21 year olds and making my teaching slots as fun and light hearted as possible. It was great experience which I plan on offering time to in the future. Show less
