"Access to experience is priceless for developing practical skills. I do my best to communicate my experiences and perspectives in a way that can help students in real world situations."

"There are many Manitobans that don't know we have an expansive film industry here at home. I feel it's important for students to not only learn how audio is recorded and where it comes from, but also learn about a possible career path where their knowledge can be applied in a unique way."
