Columbus State offers me to opportunity to assist a socially and economically diverse community of students in preparing for professional careers. Though I am responsible to translate abstract, technical information into tangible applications, I also focus on highlighting practical life and professional skills. Academic knowledge can only go so far, therefore I try to strike a balance between teacher and mentor in order to pass on more than what the textbook has to offer.

Eclipse Corp exists to ignite and empower brands while specializing in visual collateral creation. What we do is yet another form of storytelling and innovative problem solving. Although rapidly growing we are a small company, therefor many of us, including myself, wear many hats. My role consists of two main priorities. I am an expert in image creation, manipulation, and management. I create content for our clients with the highest bar of quality. The other process I oversee is the tactical planning of our clients projects including managing the resources and talent we have, acquiring the talent we need for any given project, seeing obstacles before they happen, and planning for those challenges appropriately.• Managed a $50K budget to set up a brand new eComm studio from scratch and only utilized 80% of that budget without sacrificing quality.• Introduced two new software solutions that improved and quickened our workflow to meet tight deadlines with impeccable organization.• Investigated current client pain points and proposed manageable solutions which strengthened client relationship and lead to an additional $2.5M contract for 2016.
