Liam M is our longest-standing mentor being with Unity Studios since 2016. He is extremely passionate about helping young people in any way he can and has been involved in areas of inclusion, coaching and education since he left school.

Liam’s greatest strengths are in the areas of English, Creative Writing, History, PDHPE and Theatre, but he strives to make the work of any subject as interesting as possible for each unique mentee.

You will often find Liam wandering around the studio as he claims to think better on the move. In reality, he is bad at sitting still, and that same energy is exactly what makes him such a valuable asset to Unity Studios.

What is your favourite quote(s) that reflects the Unity Studios philosophy:

“Children must be taught how to think, not what to think.” – Margaret Mead

“There’s no point doing something if you can’t laugh at Liam while you’re doing it.” – T. R. Sinclair

“Ow.” – Liam, after he falls down the stairs.

“There’s no point doing something if you can’t have a laugh while you’re doing it” – L.B. McGlynn

What is your Highest Qualification: High School Graduation

Hobbies: Any sport, but mostly AFL. If you want to play please let me know, we’re always short on numbers. Exploring the great outdoors, either on foot or on my mountain bike. I love finding new spots and find myself in the bush as much as possible on the weekend. Stories of all kinds. Books, games, TV, film, poetry, music, theatre. If it’s got a story to over-analyse, I’m available.

What do you love about working at Unity Studios: Variability – never knowing exactly what I’m going to be doing any given day and having different participants and subjects every day.

What areas are you currently mentoring: Skill Building Team Leader – Ignition/Pathfinder, Drama, Music, Creative Writing, Dungeons & Dragons
