What Class were you in? Who was your Form Tutor? 14B, Mrs Cunningham.

What are your fondest memories of your time in Parkhall?

For me it would genuinely be my Travel and Tourism classes. A-Levels are a tough two years but Travel and Tourism was the class I most looked forward to. I will never forget the support and advice I received from Mrs Feeney and McKee during my time at Parkhall.

Were you a member of any Teams or Clubs? I was part of the netball team from year 8-10.

Achievements from your time at Parkhall? Becoming a prefect and being awarded the Travel and Tourism award.

What did you do when you left Parkhall? I studied Film and Television production at Edge Hill University in England and graduated with a 2.1.

Where are you now? I am currently working for BBC NI and work within both TV and Radio. During my time at BBC I have had the opportunity to work on projects such as The Children in Need Appeal.

What advice would you give to our Parkhall students? Getting a bad grade isn’t the end of the world and there are always doors of opportunity opening for you – you will get to where you want to be if you put in the work.
