TEACHING
Teaching is one of the most rewarding jobs I've ever had. The sneaky thing about it is that teaching happens all the time outside of academic settings. Because I've had the great luck of having some excellent teachers, I found I liked the process of translation of knowledge: analogy, relationship, and difference. Here are some of my formal interactions with pedagogy:
Workshops and classes
From 2012-2017 I designed and taught workshops and classes on hardware and software skills for undergrads, grad students, staff, faculty, and alumni at UW Seattle. Some of these skills included:
Adobe PhotoShop
Adobe Illustrator I + Design Elements
Adobe Illustrator II + Design Principles
Adobe InDesign
Adobe Premiere I
Adobe Premiere II
Adobe After Effects
Adobe SoundBooth
Adobe Audition
Adobe Lightroom
Intro to VR and GoPro Omni
Intro to Website Building (Portfolios)
NodeXL + Tableau
Soundslides
Audio Hardware for Podcasting and Radio
Video Hardware for Journalists
I also taught a class for credit in Spring 2017, COM 294: Video Production And Editing. Students spent time in class learning about collecting high-quality video and audio assets, then had to produce a 3-5 minute video that tells a story about someone's life.

Also at my time at UW I taught 2-5 undergrad interns a week in our equipment checkout system. Time in the internship was split between hands-on training in equipment and producing a tutorial video on a digital media skill of their choice. From 2013-2017, I managed over 50 interns and produced valuable assets for the department's YouTube channel. A couple of my favorites are featured on the "Video, Photo, & Audio" page of my portfolio.
