Me, myself and I

Hello my name is Peter Barker and I live in Chelmsford, Essex. I am studying Multimedia, Animation and the Web at Anglia Ruskin University which I started this year. I have worked at the university for the last year doin various jobs such as Admissions Assistant and working for the Media support department.

Whilst working for the Media support department I decided I would like to study Media at University. I studied Graphic Design for A-Level at college and the Multimedia course at Anglia Ruskin seemed like the right pathway to take. Having worked within the University I have made good relations with many people and studying at Anglia Ruskin seemed a good idea because I am familiar with the university environment.

I also like to socialise with my friends by going out into town on a Saturday night or going to the pub occasionaly. I am a member of Anglia Ruskin gym so I also take part in activities at the gym, such as football and badminton. My favourite sport is basketball and I also take part in this sport with a few friends at my local sports hall.
I am a car owner so travelling is not a problem and also gives alot of freedom in what I do.
