Education

2003 - 2006
University of Oregon ⟫ Eugene, OR

Bachelor of Science in Art & Multimedia Design

I made a U-turn at UofO (literally, I transferred into the Architecture program). That's where fate intervened in the form of a Multimedia Design course. My first brush with HTML & CSS felt like...well, MAGIC! It was instant and undeniable. From there, there was no looking back. I left the Architecture program to gobble up anything that might help me in the direction of Website Development. I aced my classes, maintaining a stellar GPA above 3.5 for most of my time there. (Until I took trig, that one got me!). I graduated with a strong 3.45 GPA, ready to pursue my newfound passion for web development.

1998 - 2003
Lane Community College ⟫ Eugene, OR

Associate of Arts & Applied Design

LCC was my creative stomping ground. I honed my skills in Art, Graphic Design, and CAD, all while setting my sights on Architecture at the University of Oregon. Turns out, CAD was my secret weapon! I consistently aced the classes, graduating with a killer 4.18 GPA (proof that hard work and a little talent go a long way).
