The connections I made while studying at JMC were the most important connections I've ever made in my life. As soon as I walked into the building I knew this is exactly where I need to be, this is exactly the path that I need to take the freedom to just kind of be exactly who I am unapologetically.

Studying at JMC was really good... Everyone looks after you, everyone cares about you, everyone can be themselves. Everyone's open, everyone's caring, and everyone's super kind.

The main thing was making links with my tutors. I was already working as an assistant stage manager prior to JMC, so the course also solidified and developed my skills.
