Full Stack Software Development; interning at Convoy until January 10, 2020
During my 18 years in media production, I acquired a broad range of skills as a professional producer, video editor and videographer, technical writer, editor, and trainer, with experience in the education and mentoring of employees, as well as clients. My natural tendency to act as a liaison helps to bridge communication gaps that can occur between teams. In the coming years, I plan to combine newly acquired software development skills with my existing strengths to forge an exciting new career path.
