When I was in high school I had the opportunity to join a group called Voices of Youth, which was sponsored by the Western Folklife Center in Elko, Nevada. Through this program I learned the art of black and white photography, sound recording, and digital video production. The project culminated in a traveling art exhibit. Through this program I also had the opportunity to document the Elko County Fair for the Library of Congress, produce a digital short film for the CineVegas Film Festival, and was chosen to speak at the 2000 Arts All Ways Conference. My work with the Western Folklife Center was nominated for a Governor's Art Award through the Nevada Arts Council in 2001. |

Immediately after graduating from college I relocated to Perth, Western Australia. I worked for a not-for-profit called Scitech, where I ran an outreach program and website called ScienceNetwork WA. I don't think any experience can compete with living and working in a foreign country. It was one of the most challenging things I have ever done, but very rewarding. The beer wasn't bad either. |

In February 2008 I traveled to St. Croix, USVI. I spent a glorious week sailing the U.S. and British Virgin Islands. For me travelling is an important part of life. To view photos of my trip click here. |

Whether it was camping under the stars on a cattle drive or driving a 240 ton truck at a Wyoming coal mine I've been given the chance to experience life in a lot of different ways, which has given me a unique perspective on how I approach life and work. I believe in working hard, trying new things and taking risks. I think what attracts me to web work is how much I love being on the edge of new technology and solving problems. I love working in marketing because it gives me the chance to combine my geeky web side with my creative, strategic side. |
