resumé

After starting my professional career in print publishing, I entered the emerging new media field by joining Blender, the interactive entertainment magazine on CD-ROM. My work there included being the Circulation Director for the magazine as well as the Marketing Manager for their companion Web site. Blender was the leader in its field and has since been immortalized in the Smithsonian Institution for its unique impact on popular culture.

Then I formed my own computer education company called Point & Click that worked with individuals and businesses. This venture helped scores of first-time computer users, aided by my one-on-one instruction, to explore the Internet, use office productivity tools, and manage their businesses. I also taught in a classroom environment at Noble Desktop Publishing in New York specializing in QuarkXPress and HTML coding. While there, I developed materials and guidelines for their Web courses and helped train other educators.

While working as a marketing consultant for Metropolis, a national design magazine, I began freelancing as a Web site developer for new media firms, ad agencies, and other companies. My featured projects included creating multiple home pages for Sony, a Web magazine for The New York Times, an award-winning site for Altoids, and a promotional vehicle for AOL that tied into their Super Bowl ad campaign.

As I continued my freelance development, I consulted for Red Sky Interactive regarding their Web site activities. For over a year, I directly oversaw a staff of more than a dozen developers and production designers as well as served on their executive committee for planning and operations management. I worked closely with the producers, designers, and programmers advising on the most productive ways to create successful Web sites that were on budget and on time.
