OBJECTIVE
I ended up in Boston primarily out of my own luck. Before coming here I was attending Florida State University in Tallahassee Florida . It was a good deal because I was awarded a bright futures scholarship, and 75% of my tuition was paid off. But, after a year of attending school there I decided to pack it up. It was time to go to art school. Luckily, when I turned over my portfolio to the School of the Museum of Fine Arts they generously awarded me another scholarship. I also received another private scholarship outside of school. |

Talents, Interests and Developed Skills Sound Design
• This past year I was a TA for a Sound 1 class.
• Engineering my own sound works allows me to further incorporate them into my own artwork, a strong passion of mine.
Video
• One of my main passions is video and film. I have formed a small coalition of Film, Video, and Audio students called The Shoot Out Club.
• I would also consider my self to be technically competent on a computer. This past year I built my own computer for specifically editing video and sound. A complete understanding of media programs including Flash, Freehand, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe After Effects, Pro Tools, Avid, Final Cut amongst others, has enabled me to continue on with the art making process in the digital realm. |
