I was given the awesome opportunity to work under Rachel Jerome Ferraro from August until December as her teachers assistant. Working with her gave me experience in demonstrating lighting techniques to advertising photography students and being a guide to their questions or concerns about their creative work. From January until the rest of my semester and time at RIT, I am assisting Clay Patrick McBride. Clay is a whirlwind of energy and his experience in the photography industry is undoubtably impressive. I have been working with him to archive and lead discussions to students that will be seniors next year here at RIT. They worked on their third year advertising project which is equivalent to a senior thesis. This project is the largest group (3 member team) project you must fulfill while at RIT. I was an aid to the students during this time and helped many teams in production and some post work. To list a few things I have done with both of these photography professors:- archiving / scanning- retouching - holding demonstrations for students - presenting my work and website construction - assisting students in their production - actively critiquing work- assisting Clay in personal work / shoots- grading software- organizing documents

My responsibilities at The University Gallery included receptionist, gallery assisting, exhibit creation/dismantling, gallery opening, event assisting, label making, and organizing.

For the Finding Aid - I was given the task to research, reveal, and process two boxes of unopened archival boxes which are RIT property. Opening them revealed 32 file folders and two CDs. Individually going thru every folder, I discovered histories on the School of Photographic Arts and Sciences which is a college run by RIT. The task involved many logged hours in the archive itself and also outside hours of research and processing of materials into proper text for the Archives. Formatting the history found in the boxes to better serve the public via the RIT Archival web directories.The work is currently live on the web and available for public use.

Working as a summer intern for the Fast Ashleys team, I will be on duty for equipment rental packing, dismantling, studio set up, cleaning, interpersonal relationships, and organizing of equipment space.

As a counselor I found it my duty to aid children with various summer activities such as horse back riding, filling responsibilities for keeping an organized camp grounds, setting up living quarters such as tents and building cabin housing. I also was in charge of keeping children safe and comfortable while engaging in horse riding or any other contact with animals. Also being an assistant to the director of the camp, I taught children how to properly engage with the animals and ride correctly for safety.
