Media Intern May 2019 -- July 2019
During my time as an intern I built graphics and helped build the company’s social media presence. To do these tasks I had to transfer between Illustrator and Photoshop. These tasks helped me learn more about what Photoshop has to offer and how to use it in the real world. I also helped the company redesign their logo and helped them build promotional videos from the ground up to share with investors. These tasks helped me learn the Camtasia video editing software, and also strengthened my knowledge of Premiere.

During my time as a student worker I learned how to teach students how to use the 3D printer including how to build on the software. I also have been able to master and teach students how to use the CNC, Tormach, and Shopbot Mills. Being a student leader in the space allows me to take control of the safety protocols of the space.
