Web Writing
- Techerator: I’m currently the managing editor at this tech site where I oversee general editorial activities, but I also write as much as I can. The link takes you to my author page with a list of all of my posts written on there.

- Lifehacker: Mount Gadgets to Your Car’s Dashboard with a 3M Command Strip: This is a short piece of mine that was featured on Lifehacker.

Journalistic Writing
- IPFW Career Services Holds Sports & Fitness Career Panel: I never submitted this one to get published, but it’s one of my better traditional news pieces and is a great example of the inverted pyramid.
.
- Adjusting To New Elements At IPFW: This a newspaper clip of my first sports article (and my only, so far — I don’t do a lot of sports writing even though I love sports). This was also my first journalistic interview.

Design/Developing
- The IPFW Communicator: After becoming web editor in February 2010, I ended up redesigning the entire website from the ground up. I designed it by extensively altering the HTML/CSS templates of an existing WordPress theme. I also developed and installed a custom login system and designed the masthead with the help of a couple graphic designers. The website was nominated for a 2011 ACP Online Pacemaker Award. The site has changed a bit since I stepped down, but the overall style still remains.
- My Personal Website: I would be remiss if I didn’t put my own personal website in my portfolio. I used a simple template, but I found myself relying on it less so than my other websites. However, I wouldn’t be wrong in saying that my HTML/CSS/PHP skills were tested to the max and I learned quite a bit more about coding than before.

- Mosaic Music Therapy Logo: I created this logo for a local music therapist using Photoshop CS5.

Multimedia
- 4G in Fort Wayne: I made this video segment for a faux newscast that my TV journalism class and I put together. Video portions were shot using a Sony HDR-A1U. Most of the graphics were put together in Adobe Photoshop and the whole video was edited and put together using Final Cut Pro X.
.
- Segment on The IPFW Communicator: I made this short news-style segment as my final project for a Video Production class. Video shot using a Sony HVR-A1U and edited using Final Cut Pro.
.
- One-Minute App Review – AirDroid: I made this video for a contest on another website. It had to be a one-minute-long review of an Android app or game. Video shot using a Canon ELPH 300 HS and edited using Sony Vegas 10.
.
- Cancer Awareness Video Project: I made this video for a Film Critique and Analysis class. I used Sony Vegas 10 to put it together.
