What’s the best thing about your job?
The best part of my job would be solving problems when under pressure and the thanks that you receive after doing a good job.

I studied Music, Maths, English, IPP, Tech and Community Studies.

M usic: this was where I learnt a lot of things about Audio Systems. IPP: we use computers a lot. Community Studies: I did the sound system for the musical ‘Grease’.
What advice would you give current students?
Make the most of any opportunity you get and make your own opportunities. If you enjoy something, and can do it as a job then do it!
