What I Do

Teaching

I like to engage my students through lecture, discussion, and experiential learning. I think a solid groundwork of theory builds to practical hands-on skills.

Web Design

Building practical, easy-to-use websites is my passion. I think websites should be easy to navigate and full of compelling content that keeps visitors from bouncing off.

Audio / Video Production

Crafting professional audio and video is always about telling a story. I believe if you start with the story, everything I do from short films to podcasting grows organically.

Public Relations

Tell a good story but be transparent with your audience. People know when they're being lied to, so my goal is to place organizations in the best light while keeping customers in the loop.
