I graduated from the Fort Vancouver High School Technology Magnet, which is a specialized youth program in which I learned and utilized skills in the Macromedia Suite in addition to other programming languages and technical support. I have completed my Bachelor's degree in Interdisciplinary Studies w/ a focus in Film & Media from Marylhurst University, a Liberal Arts college south of Portland, Oregon. In addition to my course work I have worked in the media and entertainment industries for nearly ten years. This includes working in front and behind the camera, which has refined my artistic and cultural knowledge.
