Speaker Moira Sinclair talks about careers in the Creative arts

Guest speaker Moira Sinclair visited Townsend last Wednesday to speak to years 11, 12 and 13 about careers in the creative industry and the myths surrounding how to enter the industry.  Moira also explained that lots of non creative degrees and study paths can also work alongside creative ones, working together to compliment each other.  The talk was extremely informative and interesting to hear Moira's own background and how she entered the creative industry too.  Moira was also available for questions after the talk, where lots of students gained some valuable advice from speaking to her.
