Who am I? I've been a creative and technology professional for over 25 years, working in academic, corporate, and non-profit settings, making technology accessible, practical and productive. I possess a wide range of technical skills (see below), having worked in the fields of Project Management and Document Management to Information Architecture, Instructional Technology, Web Development, Videography and Photography, and Desktop Support.
Through the years, I have striven to develop a solid track record of consistently exceeding project goals in management expectations and project execution. Strong communication skills forms the backbone of my work ethic. A self-motivated worker, I thrive in performance-oriented atmospheres and competitive environments. Above all, I am always looking for ways to keep working and to make work enjoyable for those around me.
I am able to bring a wide array of skills and experiences to any project no matter the size. I have an extensive background in photography (digital and analog), video capture and editing, and lend my background in graphic design in creating engaging and provocative social media campaigns and engagements, from shooting still images or video, producing music to go along with them or providing voice overs for your campaigns.
Since 2000 I have worked as a web development consultant for the following clients: University of Southern California, Duke University, University of Pennsylvania, University of Minnesota Press, Zaytuna College, University of Massachusetts Lowell, SLAM Magazine, Isthmus Magazine and Ibanez Guitars amongst others.
