I have a strong background in both media production and IT/Systems Administration. Although those two areas have been my primary focus, I also have experience in other areas including operations, marketing, and retail. Most of my experience is from working for small companies where I utilized my knowledge to solve company issues and led projects outside of my department. My exposure in these departments has given me a better understanding about what is needed to run a company, how to get projects accomplished and the hard work necessary for these projects. I work very well as part of a team, leading team projects, and on solo projects.I believe in hard work, but more importantly I believe in working smarter. Every position I have been in I have been asked to help with other areas of the company and have value added due to the fact that I don't shy away from tasks that are unfamiliar or unknown. I enjoy learning about new software, hardware, and how to utilize them together, but I also know that the latest is not always the greatest.I have 8+ years experience with online retail including building an online store from scratch as well as providing support and managing a store within an established retail software solution. I have a strong design eye and have helped to establish the look and feel of many websites and brands from concept, building, to the day to day updates and operations.I have worked on many sides of the media production process ranging from content creator, editor, talent, and producer. I have also worked in other positions including technical support, and product design. A strong knowledge of computer hardware has helped in a number of employment positions in the past.
