PERSONAL PROFILE
Throughout my whole life I have loved playing video games, they have the ability to make you
forget all of your worries can just relax for a short time, I decide that I wanted to become a video
game developer at an early age, and all of my academic choses have been to try and benefit my
chances to get into the industry, I enjoy teamwork exercises as I like to bounce my ideas of
people and get feedback on them.
I when to school at park view community school in Chester-le Street where I came out with 5
GCSEs, I then went to college to study BTEC level 2 ICT for a year, which I passed with a
distinction* and proceed to level 3 which I completed the full 2 years and got the highest grade
possible which is a distinction*, when I was studying BTEC ICT I was also resitting my maths and
English GCSEs, my first year at college I re sat my English and I achieved a grade C, when I was
in my second year I re sat my maths which I achieved a D, which I then re sat at a different
school and achieved a C. in my 3 years at college I developed leadership, time and project
management skills.
I am currently studying computer games design and production at Northumbria University,
currently in my second year I am looking to get a job as a level designer after I have completed
my degree as I am interested in 3d modelling, animation and level design.
