  I started as an intern on a placement sandwich year from my university - my contract has since been extended and I am due to continue working full time while I complete my degree from work placement. I have worked on NFS Unbound and a currently unannounced project. I have mostly worked with Frostbite and in-house tools during my time at Criterion. Learning specialist software has been a learning curve with a lot of value for me.

  Representing the university for open days, taster days and other events such as the Manchester Create Your Future UCAS exhibition. These roles largely involved talking about my course, other creative courses and the university's resources as a whole. I really enjoyed talking about my experiences studying at university on this course and it was a great opportunity to talk to prospective students and build communication and explanation skills.
