I worked for the Media Team as a Multimedia Producer. It was a well-organized operation and I really liked everyone I worked with there. My job was specifically to do the ‘Emotional Moments’ slideshows for the Beijing Olympics. Because of the time difference, I worked shortened days, but worked 6 days a week and I started the new slideshow every day.
I also created several breaking news slideshows, which helped prepare me for doing the Olympics slideshow. I was also trained to capture screen shots from the live NBC feed for breaking news using their Avid system. Part of the job included contributing to the Photo Blog, so I blogged about the Olympics photos.
Project done for Soul of Athens by Jerome Nakagawa, but edited for Soul of Athens by Maria Averion. Project about a struggling family-owned dairy farm in Athens, Ohio. (Part of a class at Ohio University while in Grad School.)
Soul of Athens was a special online project completed during Spring Quarter 2008. I was part of a class that handled the Content Management for the project. I found content from other students and coordinated with the project Team Leaders. I also handled a lot of trouble shooting and training for the project.
This was my final project for this Documentary Photography class. It was on Modern Motherhood and I photographed mothers with more than 2 kids. I was at an age where almost all my friends had kids and I wanted to explore that.
I have been cleaning out files in order to unearth all the right versions of my old work and I found a logo I created for a Blues Bash from 2005. I took the artwork from an old poster of the event and pieced together a logo for a sign. All the work was done in Adobe Illustrator and PhotoShop. I thought it would be a good example of what I can do.
I got an offer from the AME for Photo to come and work on the Photo Desk as an editor. I started out as an Assignment Editor for the Features and Business sections. Part of the job dealt with making assignments and part of the job dealt with finding and researching photo for different stories. I even took a studio photo specifically for a business story instead of buying a similar photo. I coordinated the shoot and selected the one that would work (and I got a published credit for it).
I started working as a Systems Editor in the NewsIT Department in Sept. 1999. I worked as a CCI SuperUser and a Macintosh Specialist on the Help Desk. I ended up being the top Macintosh expert in the whole building, the go-to person for all Macintosh issues. I set up networking protocol when we went wireless, I set best practices and I was the main troubleshooter for photo and graphics issues on deadline.
I’d been trying to move to the NewsDesk for a while, but they liked me in my position in NewsIT, so I kept getting overlooked. But when a friend was going on maternity leave for 6 months, I got an opportunity to fill in for her. I designed pages in the Nation and World section, Business, Inside A and Metro, including section fronts.
I was working at The Washington Post when we hosted the annual SND (Society for News Design) Convention in 2003. I ended up submitting a design that they chose for the logo, which they made into t-shirts, polo shirts, jean shirts, hats, pens and bags. I also volunteered to help out so I was put in charge of IT for the convention. I helped coordinate loaner copmuters from Apple, as well as helped set them up in the temporary lab. During the convention, I was a coordinator and floater for presentation and AV assistance.
