This brief paper is providing an example of using a critical incident experience to write descriptively, and to use as a method for further enhancement and development of professional practice within higher education sittings as well as other sittings. The key purpose of this paper is to critically reflect on the use of this writing style, and how it would potentially influence further development of a student, educator and industry professional. The paper is supported by different academic papers from the literature to support the evaluation, reflection and conclusions of the work based on the critical incident provided.
