After graduating from Northwestern University, I joined the Advanced Media Production Studio (NUAMPS) in Northwestern University's IT division. In this job I learned how to develop Wordpress themes and gained basic knowledge of the Drupal CMS Framework.
I also dedicated time to maintaining websites that the NUAMPS department had already created, as well as learning research on potential new web projects for the media architect team.
