A Master's graduate in Professional Media and Media Management from Southern Illinois University Carbondale's College of Mass Communication and Media Arts, I focused on documentary, video production, web design, media technology history, visual culture studies, globalization, and critical theory. My creative and professional outlets are informed by new media, the humanities, and a unique third-culture perspective from traveling abroad to over 40 countries and living in Panama, Japan, Germany, and the United States.

"Those who are engaged in something they're passionate about are inspired by what they do. They have moved from just focusing on the tasks they do each day to imagining the impact of their work."

"Getting More Mojo from Maslow"
"Cinema, the majoral cultural form of the twentieth century, has found a new life as the toolbox of the computer user. Cinematic means of perception, of connecting space and time, of representing human memory, thinking and emotion have become a way of work and way of life for millions in the computer age. Cinema's aesthetic strategies have become basic organizational principles of computer software."
