After completing my capstone short film in my last year at AUT, I decided to use my experience in visual effects, video editing and motion capture technology to teach!
I am currently working towards my Secondary Teaching qualifications, I am doing this with The Teachers Institute which allows you to be a teacher trainee on site. Through this I’m working with 2 mentors at St Cuthberts School to help me on my journey to becoming a Qualified Digital Design and Media Studies Teacher.
