Curriculum Vitae
Personal Profile:
I worked as a welder for over 5 years; which I believe has greatly improved my time management skills, as well as my ability to work with others in a professional environment. My aspiration is to become a videogame developer with a specialism in Level design and I think that I have made excellent advancements through the Interactive Media and Games course I took at Colchester Institute.
