GET TO KNOW AMELIA

What hobbies do you have?

I love swimming, before University I used to swim competitively for East Sussex. I was training seven times a week whilst also competing all over the country at the weekends. Over the years I have won many awards as an independent swimmer and as a part of a team. After I started University I had to slow down because I wanted to focus on my studies. Whilst I don’t compete anymore, I still find the sport very enjoyable and find the time to swim a few lengths every so often.

If you were an animal, which one would you be and why?

I would be a meerkat because they are extremely social animals and live together in burrows. They are highly intelligent as they solve tasks with help from their mob, however a bit of independent thought goes into completing the task. They are omnivores and love all kinds of foods. (This is something I can definitely relate to.) Meerkats have remarkable eyesight and are constantly looking for opportunities for food and dangers.

What job position would excite you the most to start your career with?

I would absolutely love to be a Junior Material Artist, it is something I am very passionate about. Waking up and loving what I do everyday would be a dream.

Describe a challenge that you had to overcome in your group projects.

Before starting University I was very shy and struggled speaking to a big group of people. During my last group project I had to get up in front of a class full of students multiple times to speak about the work the group and myself had created. This really pushed me out of my comfort zone and whilst I still get nervous I have improved so much.

Would you rather be a wizard, jedi or superhero and why?

I would be a Witch and this is purely because of my love for the Harry Potter series. I grew up watching the films and am still waiting for my letter to Hogwarts. I also have a pet black cat.

What video game character best embodies you and why?

Lara Croft (Tomb Raider) because she is in charge of her own adventure and she decides where she wants to go. She is really good at solving a range of puzzles and has a very determined personality.

What was your crowning moment of your time at Escape?

I have loved meeting like minded people. I feel that everyone has something they can bring to the table and have absolutely loved learning new things from fellow students and Tutors to Industry Professionals I look up to.
