The University of Montana has a division for teaching school districts how to deal with bullying between ages 8-14. Their curriculum was in need of better presentation for both the students and teachers. Since the department was given a grant budget and I was appointed to design the stronger branding for the lesson plans and artwork of students. I created various word documents, as well as InDesign robust 200 page program using the Adobe suite. Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign were all tools I needed to ensure the curriculum was presented both engaging for students and easy to read for teachers. This is now a nation-wide used curriculum so the presentation was very important and my job to make it professional as well as fun for the students. I have a lot of experience helping young to tweens (8-14) with my previous experience in co-teaching workshops and classes at Hacker Lab in Sacramento as well as Salvation Army after school programs for At Risk Youth.
