professional experiences

With 2 years of experience in the website design and development field, finding what I wanted to do did not come fast. Once I found my niche, it has been non-stop learning and hustling to better myself. As you check out my levels of expertise, you will notice nothing is 100%. The reason for this is because there is always something new to learn every day, especially in the IT field.

I had two internships right out Erie Institute of Technology. I learned more than I thought I ever would about my field and the real world. Most of my experience came from working for the local company, Web Hut. Throughout my time with the business, my boss and I worked really well together inspiring each other to do better every day. I worked with LeaderQuest, a large IT Career Training company located in Texas, Colorado, and Florida. Mainly doing Search Engine Optimization (SEO) work and occasional graphic design. Alongside working with such a large company, I also had the experience to meet and work with local businesses in Erie.

The local accounts I managed while working at Web Hut included:

• A Compassionate Hart
• Attorney Keith Clelland
• Recover Me Addiction Services
• Allison Parr-Plash
• Fusion Hair Gallery

I did a majority of the work on the above websites of Web Hut including:

• Search Engine Optimization
• Website Maintenance (security and virus scans, backups, software updates)
• Website Redesigns
• Website Development
• Graphic Design
• Client Update Reports
• Client Meetings (phone and in person)
• Client 6 Month Goal Reports

I am very thankful to have worked with such great and loyal clients at Web Hut. I enjoyed updating, educating, and answering questions they had about their website.

Since leaving Web Hut, I received my first client right here in Erie. His business is fairly new called Rolling 2 You. Within two weeks of starting a design for his website, his site was up and running for the public to visit.
