"I’ve had the privilege in my career of being involved in the creation of spectacular wedding days, fantastic theatre productions and hilarious pantomime moments, as well as being a part of teams that create fantastical worlds on screen. It’s no exaggeration to say I owe most of this to AUB, the amazing tutors on my course, and the inspiration, support and encouragement this amazing university provided me during my time here and beyond!"
