my resume

I have had a wide variety of jobs through out my college career. I have received several awards, honors and scholarships, too.

I've learned much from customer service to managerial duties. Working in properties design for theatre, I also learned a great deal about the importance of meeting deadlines. Show project times would overlap, and I quickly had to learn to multitask and be organized to get everything ready for opening night. The old cliche of "the show must go on" was definitely a driving force.

Currently, I work at Belo Corp. located in downtown Dallas as a Interface Developer. I work with a Content Management System (CMS) called Clickability to help with layout and design of 16 local media station's site nationally. I also do design work as needed for the company.

I like to think that it's not always experience and education that make a good employee, it's how quickly one can "hit the ground running." I'm a quick learner and not afraid of hard work.
