I am a graduate of Columbia College Chicago with a BFA with emphasis in Computer Animation/Digital Media Technology, 1999 and am currently enrolled at DePaul University part-time embarking on a Masters of Science in Human Computer Interaction. As the lead developer for Kelmscott Communications, Inc. located in Aurora Illinois specializing in personalized urls (www.kelmscottpurls.com) I manage a team who assist with the development of web microsites, interactive flash, email campaigns, database development and more. In 2009 I was selected to be part of a 21 member team called the Leadership Academy associated with the Aurora Chamber of Commerce. Just recently, I was elected as president of our homeowners association, which consists of 100 townhomes.

Prior to working with Kelmscott Communications, I was a web developer for Zebra Technologies based in Vernon Hills, IL. While at Zebra I assisted in maintaining their web presence for the regions of North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific as well as constructing reports using Oracle, Web Trends, and Google Analytics. One of my many accomplishments at Zebra was successfully managing a web initiative project for the North America region.

I've had the privilege of working for big corporations such as Keane Inc, Leo Burnett, Zebra Technologies and educational institutions such as Evanston Township High School and School District 129. I have also taught classes in HTML, JavaScript, dreamweaver, and Adobe Golive for Digital Bootcamp. I consider myself a proactive, highly energetic, multi-task, fast-pace creative individual able to work well independently, under tight deadlines and cooperatively in a team environment all with a pleasant demeanor.
