  In the 3rd year of my Honors degree I was awarded the Hunterian Scholarship which involved undertaking a summer placement at the Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, during this placement I created several interactive displays for the museum's exhibition on the life and works of Lord Kelvin. Initially tasked with using windows embedded XP to develop a version of the operating system that would run on a 250mb flash card, I moved on to crafting the interactive exhibits using Macromedia Director and Lingo.After this exhibition was completed I was hired as a graduate to work on the interactive elements of the Museum renovation which was completed in 2007.
