Hello! My name is Luke and I have recently joined the Digital Education Team as a Digital Education Officer. I\u2019m excited to assist staff and students with digital education queries, ensure that information is clear, and contribute to the wider team!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A little bit of my background- I came to Aberystwyth in 2022 to peruse a BA in Filmmaking at the university, where I specialised in practical and theoretical skills in cinematography and editing with a focus on creating period pieces. I have always been interested in the work and effort that goes into bringing film and television to life. My end of year project was a film set in the 1960s and focused on the \u2018battle of the bands\u2019 between a record label who lost their number one spot to a newly famous band! I also have a background in graphic design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have recently completed a masters in Behavioural Science here at Aberystwyth University where many of my projects focused on developing interventions for positive health-related behaviours and improving engagement within police, leisure and teaching settings. My master\u2019s dissertation focused on current interest and attitudes toward emerging novel contraceptive health methods designed for men, which involved working with potential users to investigate which behaviour change informed messages where most appropriate for future advertisements and interventions to support shared responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before my role within the Digital Education Team, I worked as a lifeguard and swimming teacher for 8 years at the sports centre here at Aberystwyth University and a leisure centre where I grew up. I taught children from the age of three to sixteen as well as adults and volunteered as an assistant coach competitive swimming club. This was a club that I was part of from the age of 6 and later re-joined as a master\u2019s swimmer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have a keen interest in swimming and have more recently moved to open water swimming with hopes to enter some open water swimming races and hopefully have a go at a triathlon soon! Outside of work I enjoy motorsport and nature photography, finding nice walks and hikes with my partner, camping, and anything to do with the outdoors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A big thank you to everyone I have met so far for the warm welcome! I\u2019m looking forward to meeting and working with members of staff and students across the coming months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
