I created a digital color printing network where I would produce a wide array of professional print products. I also performed inside sales as well as production management, graphic design, prepress and customer service.

Government Center, Boston Massachusetts

Working with Kinko's in Government Center I wore many hats. Based in computer services I oversaw both mac and pc productivity. I was responsible for assuring self serve printers, computers, video conferencing were running, I also trained customers on software from Adobe to Microsoft. I also designed business cards, brochures and signage. I have sold and produced jobs successfully that were over $10,000.

Associate'S Degree, Communication And Media Studies

I must say that I LOVE SMCC. I've been taking classes since 2005. Of course I have more elective credits then I need. The faculty is great.

Bachelor'S Degree, Organizational Leadership

While working at USM I transferred from SMCC to USM. I started within the Media Studies program but found it lacking where SMCC I feel.
