1. What is the most impressive memory you've had in Korea and in Keimyung University?
I learned samulnori from the Department of Korean Studies in Keimyung. I played the drum there but it was not as easy as I had thought before. I also learned samulnori from Choi Dong-woo at the Edinburgh Festival. In addition, I learned straw art. I think learning new things is a very exciting experience.

2. Why did you choose to study Korea, and why in KMU?
My mother came to Korea to teach English, so I came to Korea and lived here for a year. In Korea, I met a pastor in church, and he introduced a Korean professor to me. I got to exchange e-mails with him and got the news that Keimyung University had organized the Department of Korean Studies and needed foreigners who were interested in Korean culture. That's why I came to Korea and have stayed here.

3. You completed your degree in the Department of Korean Studies and entered the Graduate School of Mass Communication. Can you tell us the reason you selected the Department of Journalism and Mass Communication? Then, could you tell us what your next challenge in Korea is?
On Fridays, I work for KBS Daegu on the program named "Charm TV" and do special reports on distinguishing features of Daegu. In addition, I do interviews with knd bus drivers of Daegu in Traffic Broadcasting Network. I also appear on the talk show "Misuda" on weekends. I was originally interested in broadcasting, and I want to communicate with people while broadcasting and continue to study broadcasting.

4. What are your future plans?
I put setting goals as the most important priority. I enjoy the process of reaching a goal step by step. I have a dream of producing good programs and wish to play a role as a mediator between foreigners and Koreans.

5. How are you planning to spend your coming summer vacation?
Actually, I don't have a vacation here in Korea. I don't have any free time now because I have to do two things? broadcasting and studying in graduate school? simultaneously. I would like to go back to my roots, Scotland, and meet my grandfather there.

6. Finally, would you say something to KMU students?
I really love Keimyung and feel they are like my big family. Daegu citizens are warm-hearted, and they embrace me all the time. When they first invited me to their houses, I was so touched. I have lived with them and have learned from them: They have taught me Korean and Korean culture since I came to Korea in 2003. I remember a saying I heard from an old man during my broadcasting work: "Even though the environment changes, men remain the same."
