I have been teaching, alongside working in the industry, for the last ten years and my specialisms are Media Studies, Film Studies, Design Technology and SFX make-up application. I enjoy both the practical and theoretical elements of these subjects and strongly believe a firm understanding of the role of the Media is essential to all aspects of life, in today's society.
