2) I have not had any volunteering experiences
3) I have not had any internship experiences
4) My introduction to pharmacy course taught me that I did not want to be a pharmacist. In my quest to find a new major, I realized that I needed to find something that I truly enjoy doing, not because it pays well, but because I enjoy doing it. Since then, I have joined Computer Graphics Technology but have always had a major interest in product development. In all of my projects that I have done, I have always incorporated some sort of product development aspect into it.
I have worked in the envision center on a project that truly deals with product development and analysis. The goal was to place a product assembly into a virtual reality environment. Once in that environment, the user can manipulate all the parts and place them together. The developer then can see, in real-time, what needs to be tweaked and improved, without making an actual prototype. This is something that can save an aspiring inventor a lot of money.
5) I have not received any scholarships or awards.
6) I knowledgeable in many computer programs, such as CATIA, Rhinoceros 3.0 3dsMax, Illustrator, Photoshop, Flash, Dreamweaver, InDesign, Macromedia Freehand, and basic web codes. I am also knowledgeable in computer concepts, such as Product Lifecycle Management. I also exhibit a general knowledge of computer systems and networking. I am able to adapt to new situations and give unique problems solving points-of-view.
Beyond computing, I also have a passion for Art and Design. I have my Art and Design minor from Purdue University. This has allowed to help me incorporate key points of aesthetics and perspective into projects that I am doing for computer graphics.
7) I do not speak more than one language, but in a group situation, I take a unique perspective in which I am not the leader, nor am I the person that lets everyone do everything. I tend to be hands on and interactive with every aspect of the group. If they leader is not doing his or her role correctly, I have no problem in telling him so, or suggesting ideas for his improvement.

9) I have skills working with audio and video equipment. It is a hobby of mine and I always set up the equipment so that it has the best possible output. I guess it is part of the perfectionist side of me.
