SGA Public Relations

I was elected Vice President of Public Relations for the Student Government Association at Connecticut College this year,, which means I’m the one in charge of keeping the student body up to date on SGA business. I’ve organized and updated the SGA section of the College’s website, as well as creating a Facebook page and a Twitter account. On our Facebook page you can find weekly video updates from SGA president Nathan Cornell.

In addition to my work online, I write and publish SGA On the Can, a weekly newsletter with information on campus events, SGA business, and some fun Connecticut College trivia as well.

Coming into the new semester, I’m looking to do more online, including starting a Tumblr and redesigning the SGA website. I’m also planning to hold more events, increasing awareness about how SGA can help improve the student experience at Connecticut College.

BPA: New Big Picture Alliance Website

I’m putting the final touches on a brand new website for the Big Picture Alliance, the Philadelphia non-profit film education organization where I’ve been working this summer. I put together the site using WordPress as a content management system, adapting and modifying a free theme from WooThemes and connecting with the BPA’s existing Facebook and YouTube profiles. The site features static and interactive social networking links, an embedded YouTube gallery, an RSS-ready news feed, Google Maps connectivity and more.

My time at the BPA is coming to an end, but I hope this website will serve the organization for years to come.

Connecticut College: SGA Web site

SGA – Connecticut College

Over the summer, I was responsible for getting the Student Government Association Web site up to date. Using my knowledge as an SGA senator, I came up with a new design for the site, featuring information about the group as well as resources for students. This is the result – all handled within the RedDot content management system.

We wanted an interesting and useful way for students to look at the variety of programs Connecticut College offers for study abroad, so I figured out the Google Maps API and put together this interactive world map.

Telemark Films Web site

In the summer of 2009, I was working for Telemark Films, doing animation and motion graphics work with AfterEffects and Photoshop. I mentioned that I’d been doing some Web site work for Connecticut College. Telemark’s president, Bailey Prior, asked me to work on the company’s Web site for them. I ended up designing a new site from scratch, using site templates in DreamWeaver and figuring out how to create and use embedded Flash video files.
