As a visual communicator, I have invested over 22 years of education and professional experience in the field of photography, photojournalism, multimedia production and design. I received my Bachelor of Arts Degree in Photojournalism from Point Park University in Pittsburgh and my Master of Arts in Interactive Media from Elon University. For the past 16 years, I have produced work extensively for Fortune 500 Companies, media outlets, both for online, traditional print mediums and educational institutions.
My shift in focus is now on the interactivity of multimedia production and visual communication through the storytelling process. Extensive and ongoing is the field of work, which encompasses many facets of social documentary observation, translated into a visual story, that engaging the audience on more than a visible level has become a goal.
My objective is to plan and create interactive multimedia content consisting of text, images, audio, video, and graphics. Drawing upon my knowledge of non-linear interactive media, I will help manage and develop visual information for small productions, nonlinear photographic essays, interactive documentaries and persuasive communications projects. My understanding of the documentary approach will bring viewers into new worlds and experiences through interactive presentations, using visual and factual information about people, places, and events, through the utilization of the visual medium.
