I've been a multimedia art and design tutor on Wyzant since 2014 and I love it! Located in North Carolina, I graduated high school in 2004 (Summa Cum Laude) and went to college at Appalachian State University (Music Industry Studies). After two years at ASU, I realized music industry wasn't for me, so I took a break from school until 2008. I transferred to East Carolina University's School of Art and Design and graduated December 2014 (BFA in Animation & Interactive Design). I have been...
film
As part of my degree in animation, I have taken two college courses that focused solely on video art and film editing, and I have used video editing software for nearly every animation class I have taken. I am familiar with both Adobe Premiere and Final Cut Pro X, and some of my film pieces have won awards in exhibitions. Please contact me for examples of my work.
Macintosh
Microsoft Windows
I use Microsoft Windows every day for everything from the basics (email, internet browsing, creating and saving files) to advanced programs like Maya, Unity, and Photoshop. To name a few examples, I know how to set up networks for wireless internet and file sharing, customize the interface, add and remove programs, optimize performance, install new fonts, and scan for viruses and malware.
Maya
My field of study is in animation and interactive design and I have taken several college courses in 3D modeling, animation, lighting, and rendering using Autodesk Maya. I have an intermediate level of knowledge of this program and I use it frequently for portfolio projects. I have used Maya for character modeling, rigging, texture painting, building environments, animation, some particle systems, lighting, and much more. Please contact me if you wish to see examples of work.
Dreamweaver
I took 3 college courses on web design using Dreamweaver and I use Dreamweaver to update my own website. I have worked at a company since 2010 as their web designer and administrator and I use Dreamweaver as the sole editor of both of their websites.

web design
I have a BFA in Animation and Interactive Design and during my studies, I took courses that utilized both Flash and Dreamweaver for creating and editing websites. I worked as the head web administrator for a local business for over five years, where I designed and managed two responsive websites in Dreamweaver. I also do freelance web design using CMS platforms such as Webydo, Behance ProSite, and Squarespace. I am knowledgeable in HTML and CSS as well as some Actionscript and a little JavaScript.
Adobe Flash
I have taken 3 college courses in Animation and Interactive Design which employed the use of Adobe Flash. In these courses, I created web applications, websites, games, and animations using both the visual interface and actionscript. To see examples of my work, please contact me. In addition, I worked as the web designer for a company that had a Flash website that needed updating and management.

English
I excelled at Honors and AP English 9 through 12 in high school, getting an A every year. I received an academic achievement plaque in Honors English 11, and I have taken several college courses on composition, creative writing, and research papers. I also have a minor in Art History, which is writing and research intensive.
Japanese
Microsoft PowerPoint
I have been using Microsoft PowerPoint for over a decade to create presentations for both personal and academic use. As a college student, I have had several classes that required the use of a PowerPoint presentation, so I am very familiar with the program.
Microsoft Word
I used Microsoft Word exclusively throughout high school and college for writing papers, poems, short stories, and resumes (among other documents). I have been comfortable with this program for well over a decade and can easily teach someone how to use it. I use it at work to print out mailing labels using the Mail Merge feature and to design signage and price tags for the store. I have also used the notebook feature in classes to record lessons and take detailed notes.
general computer
grammar
I graduated high school with honors (Summa Cum Laude) and I have taken several college courses which required the correct usage of English grammar. Coursework included research papers, creative writing, and composition. I also have a minor in Art History, which requires writing intensive research papers with correct grammar.

Serena is enjoying learning Japanese with Adrian. We feel fortunate for WyzAnt for connecting us with Adrian. He engages a student so that they are motivated to learn.

I love how Adrian types up notes for me after each session on what we did! He is always positive and treats every question as important even if they are dumb!
