Biography
Born in Ohio, moved to VA. My life was probably quite dull until high school. Junior year (age 18) I decided to go to Germany as a foreign exchange student, which changed my life. Coming back from spending a year overseas I was invincible and had a new look on life. I managed to graduate school with no idea what I wanted to do besides join a standard 4-year University. So I'm currently at Longwood University, where upon my sophmore year I nailed down that I loved graphic art and wished to do that for a living and am currently pursuing my bachelors in Studio Art with a concentration in Graphic Design.
Skills
- Computers - I do computer tech support at my university both as a daytime job (mostly over-the-phone) as well as on-site to students in the evenings. I'm pretty good at solving just about any software issue (with the help of a little Google-fu and some acquired knowledge) and I know a little less on the hardware side. Definitely hit me up either by email or AIM if you need some helping solving a pesky virus or spyware problem, or if you're just getting some weird error messages and want to know whats up. Contact info is in my Mofi profile.
- Foreign Language - I spent a year in Germany as a foreign exchange student and can translate German OK. I only say ok because I have not kept up with it too much, and having only immersed myself in the culture and not learned it by book or teacher I'm not as strong on the grammar side of things. Nevertheless if you end up needing to find out how to translate something to or from German I could be at least one resource for that.
- Graphic Design - As a graphic design major I spend a lot of time using Photoshop, Illustrator, and QuarkXPress. I am by no means a master of these programs but if you're curious as to how to do something in one of these programs I might be able to provide some help in that area. If you're looking for a logo, image, or anything else graphic related for a website or for some sort of personal use I would also be happy to help to the best of my ability.

Interests
As you can tell I do a lot with computers from tech support to graphic development. I want to get into web design but at the moment it's just one of those things I keep putting off (even though I can read through html code pretty well). I am currently going to begin working on a wiki page to detail information on cleaning a computer of viruses, spyware, and other kinds of junk that plagues a good majority of users. Hopefully it could be of some help to other Monkeys. Computer Tech Support
