Hello Everyone! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As indicated by the title, my name is Christopher. I am writing from Ocoee, Florida, which is just outside of Orlando. I moved here from Miami when I was about six months old. I would love to return to south Florida in the future. I’ve lived here in Ocoee almost my whole life, aside from a five year spell in Gainesville, but more on that later. <\/p>\n\n\n

I am a student in the MSI program. This is my second semester and, besides this course, I am taking Introduction to Information Policy and Grant Writing, Evaluation, and Administration. During my time in Gainesville, I studied at the University of Florida where I earned a Bachelor of Design in Architecture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I currently work as a designer at an architecture firm. The firm<\/a> I work for specializes in commercial office design, but we also dabble in hospitality and medical. I enjoy this line of work because it allows me to be creative. My favorite aspects of the job are selecting finishes, making graphics, and developing presentations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m super excited to take this course as I will be able to push my media production skills further. My experience is more rooted in imagery creation, so I\u2019m pumped to learn about audio and video creation. I hope to someday be working in a library so that I can teach people new skills (maybe even in media production). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outside of work and school, I spend a lot of time catching up on rest or briefly entertaining the myriad of distractions (interests) I have in my life. My absolute favorite hobby of mine is thrifting. Over the past year, I got really into going to estate sales<\/a>. It’s so interesting going into people’s homes and seeing how they laid out their furniture and decorated their “nests.” Of course, it’s always nice to get a new tchotchke out of the deal. Aside from that, I’m really into reading and I just started The<\/em> Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes<\/em> by Suzanne Collins. I also like doing random crafts – I wouldn’t say I have a favorite medium, I just like making weird art things. Lastly, I enjoy baking, my usual go-tos are oatmeal chocolate chip cookies or banana bread, but I did make an apple pie from scratch once. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That was a little about me, I am looking forward to meeting my classmates!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
