Hi y’all,
My background is mostly in project management, writing, research, marketing, and design. I have written for news publications, drafted conference abstracts, and published academic newsletters for an international audience. I have also written for and managed websites for a research center, and produced digital and printed promotional materials. I co-wrote a Department of Education grant proposal and managed the reporting for a Title VI grant (which involved much writing and data management). I was a news producer for Italian television in NYC for a year, so I might be great for a project that anticipates hard deadlines and last minute disasters.
I am comfortable using Photoshop & InDesign, content management systems, HTML/CSS, and have began working with Python and Tableau last semester. I speak Albanian & Italian at a native level. I can read comfortably in French and Spanish, although I cannot converse at an academic level. I read Japanese at a 3rd grade level, but can only speak comfortably if the topic of conversation is the weather, home renovations, food, and puppies.
Right now I’d like to learn about OMEKA (and any similar platform), and getting more comfortable with visualization tools. I am most interested in a digital archive/exhibition as that is essential to my capstone project, but I would love to learn about as many tools as possible during this program.
