My Life in Journalism

I started my academic career at the University of Florida as a mechanical engineering major due to my interest in math and science. After two years of studying forces, memorizing equations and solving theorems I decided my life needed a change. After an exploratory semester of anthropology, journalism and telecommunications I finally settled on print journalism. Soon after that, I discovered UF's online journalism program, which combined the writing and creativity of print journalism with a level of media production not easily found in any other major. Since then, I have altered my focus to learning the components of web journalism as well as the production of digital content.

What's Cool About Me

My work in online journalism has allowed me to get involved with some great projects. I have created information tools using a number of different journalism applications, including FinalCut Pro, SoundSlides and Adobe Flash. Using these programs, I was able to create videos, slide shows and interactive stories. I also built this Web site to illustrate my abilities in XHTML and CSS. On top of that, this site is run dynamically using Textpattern, a popular content management system.
