HE Programme Leader
Summary
Over the past decade, I have actively engaged with Games Development through a multifaceted approach encompassing academic pursuits, teaching, and professional developments.
Presently, I hold the position of programme leader for the BA (Hons) Games Development and Visual Effects course as well as the HND courses in Creative Media Production at University Campus Doncaster.
About
Having successfully completed a Higher National Diploma and a top-up degree program in Games Development at University Centre Doncaster, I pursued a Postgraduate Certificate in Higher Education at Falmouth University. In light of my strong interest in the dynamic and constantly evolving field of game design, I have continuously expanded my own professional development, through my work as a freelancer in industry, and as an educator.
As part of my ongoing efforts to enhance my expertise in this domain, I am currently undertaking a Master’s program at Falmouth University, with a specialization in Indie Games Development. My goal is to acquire a diverse range of new skills and knowledge that will not only advance my personal growth but also augment my teaching practice.
