JOB HISTORY

January 2010 – May 2010

Rare Design – Hattiesburg, MS

Graphic Design Intern – Most of my work at RARE Design was centered around web.

I coded several websites for some of their big clients.  The other designers would create

the layouts in Illustrator and it was up to me to reconstruct them into fully functioning websites.

January 2009 – April 2009

Southern Miss Recsports. – Hattiesburg, MS

Graphic Design Intern – I worked in the PR department at the University of Southern

Mississippi’s Recreational Sports Center.  My tasks included creating posters and flyers to

promote intramural sporting events, brochures for fitness and health services, and updating

their existing website.

October 2007 – May 2010

Best Buy – Hattiesburg, MS

Geeksquad Agent – Most people see the Geeksquad as simply computer techs, but in reality,

the role of a Geeksquad Agent is centered around customer service. This job required me to

develop strong communication skills both in person and via telephone, critical thinking to solve

complex issues, and most importantly the ability to manage a multitude of repairs, daily tasks,

and customer care issues all at once.
