Resumé
Dear potential employers,
My name is Kyle Anderson. I am passionate about pretty much everything I do. I take great pleasure in telling stories, and making neat things, and helping people do the same. Most of my professional experience is in video production at various levels for live events and programs, from weddings, to television news and live staged events and concerts. I am currently a fourth-year student at Northern Arizona University and close to receiving a degree in both Journalism and Electronic Media and Film. My secondary education background is in computer maintenance and networking, and my technical experience is a relatively unique asset for the modern media industry.
I not only work hard, I want to learn and experience while earning a decent living. Nothing fascinates me more, and I hope you find that evident in my previous works and products of hobbies.
Thank you for your consideration.
