Ramon Hamilton

Professional Background

I’ve been a teaching artist for over 15 years. My background is in narrative filmmaking, virtual reality and game development. When I’m not working with learners, I’m guaranteed to be working on a variety of virtual reality and game-related projects.

What do you consider to be your greatest professional achievement so far?

Being able to balance both teaching and creating in the media and arts field.

On Sunday mornings, you can usually find me…

Spending time with my family.

What was your favorite subject in school?

Math

Flashback to when you were 10 years old. What do you want to be when you grow up?

A detective.

What inspired you to pursue a career in this field, and how does it align with your passions and interests?

My inspiration comes from my lack of exposure, at a young age, to the art/media forms that I am most passionate about. I want to ensure that as many learners as possible have exposure and nurturing to the arts, media and new technology that I lacked in my childhood.
