(resumé as of July 2006)
Preface
I love my job, therefore I have not updated my resumé since 2006, when I started working with ePrize as an Interface Developer. I have worked on websites for clients such as Disney, Dell, Microsoft, Old Navy, ConAgra, and many other top-name brands and I can't imagine working anywhere else right now. But you can still take a peak if you like.
Profile
I am a hard working website and graphic designer ready to bring you what you need to make your business' websites come to life. With over 6 years of experience in the field and newly acquired associates degrees in web development and computer programming, I have what it takes to satisfy your web design and printing needs. My knowledge of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and Photoshop bring together three major areas in the design field - web development, programming, and graphic design - making me a valuable asset to anyone considering new employment options.
One of my number one priorities is to satisfy the customer in every way possible. When a prospective client contacts me about work, I do everything I can to make them feel comfortable with what I am doing- no matter what level of experience they have with computers or internet-related technologies.

I have been given the opportunity to come in and instruct the web development students of Port Huron High school in areas related to design in Macromedia Flash.
In 2004, I was able to aide the students in the creation of buttons that controlled flash movies to play, pause, stop and do other similar actions related to the controlling of movies and videos in flash.
In 2006, I taught another class about using flash to create rollover animations for buttons, and more importantly, how to create a simple full-flash website that could load external text, images, and external flash movies.
