Relevant Skills |
Leadership: While in the Character Animation program at UCF, two of my three pitches were chosen (out of 98 prospective ideas) to be the only two that went into production. I was elected into the directorial position by my peers, and guided the production over the next two years. This entailed peer mediation, ensuring my teammates ideas were heard, as well as making crucial decisions when it came to our tasks and projects. All of my quarterly peer reviews (from all fourteen team members) were flawless. Software Proficiency:
I can work on both Mac and PC, and have used Wacom products for nearly eight years. |

Booz Allen Hamilton : Summer 2014
During the summer of 2014 I interned at Booz Allen Hamilton, a government contracting agency, as a graphic designer. During this internship, I received secret clearance and learned the basics of several Adobe products such as InDesign and Adobe Illustrator. It also gave me a glimpse in the cooperative world of media production. Freelancing: I balance working on custom-order digital illustrations during the school year, and do this full time during the summer. I’ve worked with dozens of clients one-on-one on a variety of orders ranging from graphic design to multi-page illustrations. This has helped me develop my professional interpersonal skills. |
