FINDLAY
Aug 2015 – May 2019
I chose to take charge of learning how the technology worked for the tv studio at the University of Findlay. It had not been used in years, so I self-taught myself how everything worked to produce a show. I taught other students how to use the equipment, troubleshot issues, installed new equipment, and upgraded the studios capabilities by experimenting and reading the user manuals.
