About Me
Hi there! Thank you for checking out my Entertainment Business Masters page. I am currently earning my Masters degree in Entertainment Business. My goal is to work in the film industry. I have big dreams that a degree from Full Sail University can help me reach.
I currently live in Boulder, Colorado. I work part time as a Video Editor and am pretty much a Jill of all Trades. I do all kinds of work such as web page creation, IT services, different temporary jobs such as grading CSAP tests, and any other job asked of me.
Education
I have a Bachelors degree in Technical Communications with an emphasis in Video Production and Motion Media. I graduated in 2009 with an extended major, which means I was one of the first to get this specialized degree from Metropolitan State College of Denver. All of my undergraduate work was done in Technical Communications with Video Production. Along with the degree, I worked in the department for 3 years as the supervisor of the Mac and Video labs. It was a fun job and challenging at times. I miss it.
Work History
Before my college career, I worked in the computer field. I was an Engineering Assistant in Component Engineering at StorageTek. I supported Electrical and Mechanical Engineers in the creation of part specifications.
After StorageTek, I moved on to work on the web. I was brought in as a Word Processor but was quickly transferred to the Web Team where I learned HTML from the ground up. It was a very challenging and fun job. We contracted to OCHAMPUS and created a web site for TRICARE. Most of their health manuals were in print and I converted them to HTML. Over 10,000 pages. I had my first try at creating graphics in Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro.
Home Life
My son and I live close the mountains and enjoy gorgeous scenery here in Colorado. We are blessed to live in such a wonderful place. I am a native of Colorado and want to travel. My son wants to visit Australia. I hope to take him one day! Personally, I want to see most of the world! All of it fascinates me.
Please check back to see updates and blogs about what I am learning in my degree program.
