Portfolio
This is a collection of my scholastic and personal experiences.
Art & Photography
Photography is a hobby of mine and all of these are strictly amateur photos.
Audio
During my collegiate career I've recorded many live and studio sessions; as well as writing storylines and DJing my own radio show.
This is a book reading of "Sam and the Firefly." Sound effects and music were added in later in the recording process. Some sounds had to be created through foley work and some sounds and music were taken from the PSUC media library.
This is a psychic hotline, where we wrote out a script and created characters for the storyline. Station ID and advertisment for pop-up blocking software called Ram-Rod 2.7. We got a lot of laughs creating and actually making these stories and effects work.
Design
I've helped to create and edit websites and weblogs of friends and here are just a few snapshots of each.
Flash
I have used Flash to create some interactive projects as well as use of actionscripting and flash encoding videos, these are in SWF format:

Work Experience
sales rep, pursuing leads and performing in-home demonstrations to sell CutCo cutlery.
This job taught me the the art of selling an idea and a product that is more useful than people think and may be overlooked on an everyday basis. Coming away from this summer job gave me more confidence, and better persuasion and negotiation skills.
surveying and polling the general populace for political and general opinion.
This job has taught me the most about dealing with people. Although there was no selling involved the toughest part of this job was to convince people that their opinion matters. The myriad of different types of people and viewpoints has taught me to be less judgemental, more patient and understanding of others.
