With over 3 years in the broadcast television production and postproduction industry, particularly in roles such as Assistant Editor in postproduction for Crawford Communications in Atlanta, I am competant in both audio and video production.
Here is an outline of my relevant professional work experience:
- Adobe Premier Pro, Camtasia and Captivate video software experience

- Live one on one and online training
- Video embedding on web site

I have worked professionally in both Windows and Mac environments and am highly skilled on both operating systems.
I have also worked with graphic design software including Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Canva, Figma, Quark, Corel, Canva and many others.
Clients I have worked for include real estate agents and brokers, print shops, and various small to large businesses and corporations, including several on the Fortune 500.
I have worked for the federal government, state governments, and at a state university.
I was a Production Assistant Intern at the CBS Daytime Drama "The Young and the Restless" in Hollywood, California in 1995.
I regularly participate in outdoor sporting activities, am an avid feature film buff, and my favorite television programs include 70's and 80's sitcoms, crime dramas, and variety shows.
I had over 200 Facebook friends and over 1500 followers on Twitter for my business Delray Computer between 2006 and 2016.
Lastly, I am honest, reliable, precise at coding and spelling, personable, always on time and a very hard worker. My work ethic is to be friendly, cheerful, focused and I get along well with co-workers, management, upper management and clients where applicable. I am drug free, I have a valid Driver License, I have high speed Internet access and a cell phone, I have no felonies and can pass a background check, and am available for employment immediately.
I have worked on teams where we had weekly phone conference calls and on other teams where we did weekly standup meetings where we had to talk for at least 5 minutes. I find doing weekly stand-ups works best, and offers the employee a chance to not only talk about his/her performance and what he/she has accomplished, but also affords the opportunity to make suggestions.
I have built web and print productions from concept to completion. In order to do so I have interacted with clients both on site and on the telephone, and through chat and through email. I find written communications work best. I have obtained user input through the above mentioned methods along with creating web forms that ask specific questions pertinent to specific projects.
I have worked with teams from small (2 people) to large (over 15 people). I always have questions ready for team members written down ahead of time, and I only ask questions pertinent to the development. I always try to ask open ended questions that require someone to answer the questions with answers other than yes or no.
I have worked for companies that already have in place best practices, and I have written best practices myself for companies that do not have them already written. I usually research the issues at hand, and develop best practices from those issues.
