About

Experience

My experience in multimedia production spans years of my life. As a teenager, much of my knowledge of Adobe Photoshop and video editing came from being self-taught. In high school, where I attended Evangelical Christian Academy in Colorado Springs, I also gained experience working on the yearbook staff. I learned Adobe Pagemaker, the principles of page layout, and the basics of photography. My senior year I served as the yearbook editor.

After graduating, I worked for three years as assistant media director for a medium-sized church. During this time I gained experience working in live production environments, supervised a crew of three paid staff members and twenty-five volunteers, and worked as the art director of a magazine with a circulation of over 3,000.

I currently a junior at Oral Roberts University where I am studying Multimedia Production and Theology. This year I am enrolled in ORU's Multimedia Institute. For the past two years I have taken on freelance projects on the side, and my clients have included Capps Ministries, Vicki Jamison-Peterson Ministries, Touchdown Counseling, and others. I also served as the project manager for a advertising team who developed a marketing plan for world-champion athlete Peter Nestler's curriculum Jump Rope Basics. Mr. Nestler chose our marketing plan for implementation.

Christian Worldview

Following Jesus Christ is the most important aspect of my life. My parents served as the senior pastors at the First Assembly of God Church in Las Animas, Colorado, for seven years. Christian ministry, and particularly church-planting, are close to my heart. I currently attend Oral Roberts University where I am studying both Multimedia Production and Theology. I enjoy working with Christian clients, and I offer special rates for churches, ministries, and charitable organizations.
