I’m happen to like nearly everything except disproportions, people who do not use blinkers , Picasso, basketball/baseball, deadweight loss and standing water around sinks.
I graduated from the University of Missouri in 2007 with a BA in Political Science and I am also two courses short of a second degree in Sociology and a minor in Economics which is where my passion for social media and web strategy come from. During my time at the MU, I served as the Vice President of the Missouri Students Association, as well as on various campus committees and as the Director of Student Services.
Currently, I am a Project Manager at Ripple6, a social platform development company based in New York City. I also do freelance site development and consulting through A022 Digital, the organized un-agency for the Working Title Digital Collective, focused on providing dynamic and effective online marketing for small to mid-sized businesses with an emphasis on social media and cross-channel integration.
But as far as what I really like to do…that is harder to nail down because I love to dabble in art/design, 3D graphic modeling, infographics, statistics, cycling, economic and political theory, etymology, anatomy/physiology, AppleScripts and web design.
