Objectives
It is my desire to use the considerable Graphic Design, Desktop Publishing, and Web Design skills I have acquired in the Print and/or Web publication fields. I would like to learn even more about coding languages such as Java and Perl and scripting languages (like JavaScript) and use that knowledge to further company goals.
