I love to use my creative skills to help others while teaching myself new things at the same time. I really enjoy working with other people to create their vision and I am always open to creative input from my peers and clients.

University of Central Florida Housing
Editor for “On-Campus Housing Tour” web videos / Independent Contributor
I edited a series of videos for the University of Central Florida's housing website. These videos were shot in an "MTV Cribs" style and were a short way to introduce prospective students to the different on campus housing communities. I also edited a longer, general tour of the different communities which was supposed to emulate the housing tour you would get if you came to the campus.
This is the link to the work I have done for the University of Central Florida, the housing tours are the first six videos on the page.

This is a marketing video that I was an editor on for the company Vcom3D vcom3d.com which does some really amazing things.
This video highlights some of their products that assist learning and in this case the military. They developed software for iPods which has allowed soldiers to communicate with people in countries like Afghanistan by helping them to learn phrases and local culture tips.
Also, when hooked up to speakers the soldiers can choose phrases that can be spoken to help communicate better with locals.
