    Thumbnail

    I have been accepted into the Bachelor of Communication (Theatre/Media) at CSU Bathurst to commence in 2012. I am a film and theatre enthusiast who is keen to create my own works and collaborate on works with others in both forms of media. I believe my entry reflects not only my passion, creativity and skill in creative arts/media, but also reflects my excitement for the course I am to complete.
