- About Me: As an Young American Business Professional I have navigated a myriad of stumbling blocks with persistence for the last 8 years post undergrad. At Sussex Technical High School in Delaware, Rosemont College in Pennsylvania I chose to study a handful of languages in order to navigate my skills from designing for Social media to Publishing National Magazines and winning many awards along the way. Some of these languages include American Sign Language Spanish, Italian, Hebrew, Lebanese, British English and I dominated a few courses in computer graphics throughout my early education. Ultimately, I pursued a Bachelors of Fine Arts and graduated cum laude in a small class of the strongest and most diverse Women and Men in the World.
As an undergrad at Rosemont College I painted in acrylic, oils, plaster, and l further developed the basics of woodworking and kiln operation in accredited programs. I also enjoyed researching art subjects that had improved or expressed the world around me. Outside of required courses I interviewed professional artist throughout the local Suburban area, an area of 50-300 miles from
Between studies I expanded my studies in art education through a special internship with KenCrest Services to nurture special needs children in early childhood development. During the summer vacation I tutored Physics, Chemistry and Algebra with Upward Bound Trio. I also advised students at my High School one summer in the basics of sports development.
Upon graduation in 2010, I was contacted by a travel agency firm in Las Vegas to apply for a position within in its information technology team. For the interview I anticipated a portfolio presentation and computer-code testing. However, I qualified in all preliminary testing and paperwork and then I was escorted into a room where my final interviewer sat without any paperwork, only his white and red-striped cane.
Though I had received hours of Americans with Disabilities Accommodations conduct training I was nervous about how to discuss and present my mere folder of a portfolio to a visually-impaired adult individual. I sat down, took a breath, and shook his hand anyway.
I was offered a job as a Software Engineer Quality Assurance tester at Holiday Systems International.
