Personal background: I am from a small town in North Carolina. I grew up in a log cabin and spent most of my youth interacting with media in some way. I didn't have any neighbors my age, so to entertain myself I would watch tv or play video games. I suppose that is why I am so interested in how the media shapes (and in turn is shaped by) its audience.

Professional/Academic background: I received a BS from Appalachian State University in Electronic Media / Broadcasting. I am currently pursuing my masters in Media Literacy.

Information/Technology background: I do not have any professional experience in this field, but I do have a significant amount of theoretical experience from the classes I have taken.

Funny story or interesting item about yourself to remember you by: I directed, produced, and edited an 8-minute documentary about zombies.

Anything else you'd like to share: I am in the process of revising my paper, "Middle Eastern Representation in Post 9/11 Video Games", so that it may be submitted for publication.
