With
strong talents in graphic design and page layout,
I set out in 2000 to get an education in the programming
side of web site design. With the help of a dedicated
teaching staff at Southwestern Community College I
was able to achieve my goals of learning to work with
the back-end code of web design and graduate with
an "A" average.
My
long-term goals center on my interests in 3D animation,
audio/video editing, and the movie business. I want
to become more than a typical Web Designer. I want
to specialize in New Media.
'New
Media' refers to the explosion of digital technology
that has 'converged' multiple media in a pervasive
and transformational way. To harness these various
media and bring them to one platform, the Internet,
requires skills and talents in several fields and
a vast array of computer programs.
I
am in the process of learning the basics of 3D animation
programs such as 3D Studio Max and Lightwave 3D (3D
Animation and Special Effects). I am also in the
process of learning Adobe Premiere & Adobe After
Effects (Video Editing). I will certainly encounter
more programs in the sphere of audio/video, graphics,
and 3D animation to learn and put to use in my preparations
for being a New Media Specialist.
My
talents and skills go far beyond the scope of the
Internet. I am also a good leader. Working on the
front lines at Harrah's Cherokee Casino in
Cherokee, North Carolina as a Gaming Host taught me
how to work in a group with my fellow employees. I
also picked up invaluable people skills in the area
of customer service. Gaming hosts are responsible
for every need of the players, and the players let
us know it.
I
am talented in communication, and especially writing.
Starting in high school with my journalism class and
stretching throughout my college career, I have been
scoring "A's" in all of my English classes.
I take pride in my writing so I strive to do it as
well as I can.
I
like to see myself succeed at whatever I do.
Thank
you for considering me for your company. I hope you
find the right person for the job. I also hope that
person is me.
