PDI – Literacy First
From leading seminars to taking over a class on request of a teacher to showcase a particular methodology, I am responsible for consulting schools and teachers in best practices and the latest research in education. In addition, I produce, edit, and write videos for teachers and educational leaders for training purposes (see here). Duties include leading workshops, teaching classes of students so teachers can see practices in action, developing training and classroom materials, as well as writing and producing promotional materials and organizing marketing.
Before working for this company I did similar work in Indonesia and Singapore and have since worked freelance in Spain and the United States. I have also developed training materials for other industries, such as hospitality and computer software as the general ideas of comprehension and learning are applicable in any sector and any age.

Creative Director - Producer
2000 – 2003
CableRep Advertising
California - Oklahoma USA
Responsible for every aspect of producing client’s TV advertising from conceptual to post-production, I produced a large variety of commercials from large to small budget. I also did added value work from copy writing to event promotion. While most editing is done with the AVID system, I used a number of support software from Adobe Photoshop and After-Effects to Pro-Tools and FrontPage (I am now also proficient in Final Cut Pro and Motion). I used both BETA and PRO DV cameras, as well as lit the scene and arranged talent.
I successfully was able to show how my advertising work produced results in our client's growth. In addition to the creative direction and production work I organized networking events in my free time for the account executives and clients of our company and others. I also wrote and spoke on successful advertising techniques as researching and experimenting with cutting edge ideas in the field has always fascinated me.
