The faces behind frontline Learning Technologies support
Have you ever wondered who is on the other end? Well here’s your chance to put a face to the names of IML’s Learning Technology Support Officers, the people responsible for first line learning technologies support.
Amanda Sampol
I am a Master of Media Arts and Production student, who currently works as Marketing Director in my spare time for a pro-bono student society called BusinessOne. Since graduating with a Bachelor of Public Communications degree in 2015, I have worked in both the advertising and PR industry. With a broad spectrum of interests spanning that of technology, design and strategic planning, I am always looking for a challenge to strengthen my creative thinking, business acumen and entrepreneurial mindset. In terms of my passions, I have a love for animals and all things property investment related. In fact I’m currently infatuated with my two pet rabbits Biscuit and Pebbles, and corgi puppy Rocket with which I have even created an Instagram for.
Emily Quinn Smyth
Emily is a Masters of Science (Research) student, currently researching the effects of the weed Lantana camara on animals. She is passionate about the environment, accessibility and playing soccer. Two interesting facts about Emily is that she can speak Spanish and has travelled to 28 countries. A self professed cat lover, Emily is besotted by her cat Pandy.
