My dual background in IT and the arts have proven to be beneficial, as it allows for a unique perspective beyond that of the average IT employee. This well-rounded education has allowed me to contribute to tasks typically considered outside of my experience. My problem solving capability has been enhanced by my broad knowledge base. This provides a larger framework from which to draw potential solutions. I bring several years of extensive hands-on experience and a desire to increase communication and build teamwork among computer users.
