LO1: Writing Business Reports

Hello there. My name is Bethany Goodjohn, currently 16 years old and I attend the UTC studying Creative and Digital Media, English and Art and hope to become either a games concept designer or an illustrator when I'm older, either one of them works. I have an unhealthy obsession with games and anything to do with beasts and monsters, creepy things, robots and unusual oddities, but I also love adorable things, too.
