Bio
Timothy D. Bowman
Katherine was in two of my graduate-level courses at SLIS: Information Architecture for the Web and a workshop on PHP. Katherine was an engaged student who asked meaningful questions and showed great interest in the subject matter. I would strongly recommend her for a variety of positions ranging from information architect, web designer, web programmer, usability analyst, or project manager, to name just a few. I am confident that Katherine would have no difficulties moving in to a position in this field because she has shown an eagerness to learn new skills, a willingness to challenge herself to improve, and an interest in learning sound theory that will make her a better person and better employee.
