About my current job
In my role as a freelance as a Mentor, Tutor and "Academic Facilitator" to a range of students, I work with students around the world on a range subjects, at a range of levels/ages (7-55 years old, currently!). The work is holistic and my job is to identify what a students' limiting factors are and support them however they need it. This can range of cognitive/health impairments, familial/social/emotional disruptions, or relocation between education systems/establishments.
As an actor, I've worked on a range of projects, from open air Shakespeare to new writing and feature film. One film that I shot during my last year at Oxford University is currently on Amazon Prime.
Something important I learned during my time at EP
EP really opened me up to questioning how I experience the world around me. It was the first time I really thought about how humans perform the very fundamental processes that we do: learn, interpret, remember, respond. This level of understanding, questioning and reflecting has been so fundamental in everything I have done since.
How did my education influence my career path?
Studying EP has given me so many, unexpected, lessons and skills that have shaped my career path, and it enabled me to keep my career path options broad and varied! It taught me to connect experiences to behaviours and to better understand how humans interact with the world around them and how we can all differ in these responses. This observations, I have later realised, are integral to both of my (quite different) chosen career paths!
How did friends made during your time at EP influence your life?
Some of my closest friends I have now are those that I met studying EP. They've gone on to do a whole range of interesting things with their life and I find that very inspiring!
