PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
I am worker, by that I mean I will do whatever it takes to get a job done. I enjoy working hard and I enjoy doing whatever it takes to make a project look great. I went to Slippery Rock University because they provided me with a solid education and have really boosted my skills not only with my technical skills but also with my relational skills. I work as a photographer and a communications specialist for the Butler Blue Sox Prospect Baseball Team. I work not only to make the game better for fans, but I also work to make the community realize they have a baseball team they can come support.

WORK HISTORY
Butler Blue Sox Communications/Photographer Intern, 5/2013 to Present While pursuing my internship with the Butler Blue Sox, not only do I work with the team in the game activities along with other interns, I also work to make the team not only more enjoyable for fans but to draw more people in. This internship is unpaid and I was fine with that because not only was it close enough to home, but it also was something I enjoyed and if you enjoy what you do for free, then thats when you know you have a good career choice. With this internship I also am the team photographer which is my largest passion other than broadcast announcing. This internship is really teaching me a lot and I cant wait to start my career. Photographer-"The Rocket" Student Newspaper, 01/2011 to 05/2011 Slippery Rock University Slippery Rock University Edited, toned, captioned and uploaded photographs for news publications. Photographed high-quality images for both print and Internet distribution. Lab Technician, 05/2010 to 11/2012 Lindy Paving New Castle, PA While working at Lindy Paving I was a Lab Technician, I was in charge of taking asphalt samples and burning them for asphalt percentage. I also made mix designs for how the asphalt was mixed to lay on the road. It was a full time job and really made me work hard. I think the most satisfying part of the job, was making sure your numbers all balanced out and your work spoke for itself. Working for Lindy has really shaped me into not only a harder worker but also I appreciate how much work goes into paving and construction because I was a part of it.

EDUCATION
Bachelor of Science: Communication-Emerging Technology and Multimedia, May of 2013 Slippery Rock University - Pennsylvania While studying at Slippery Rock University, I took a lot of classes that ranged from Communication Law to Law and Ethics in the Workplace, to Digital Imaging and Photojournalism. I took a broad range of classes so that way I would have a lot of skills for in the job market. My specialization is in photography and broadcasting, those two areas really excite me the most about the area of communication and are really my passion. While being a student at Slippery Rock, I participated in University Program Board, which was a group of students who were in charge of bringing in professional artists or comedians to come in and speak or sing for a lower cost to the students
