About Me

Hi, I’m Trina. I work on projects that blend media and technology to make a positive social impact.

Scroll down the page to learn more about what I do, how I spend my time, where I’m from, and the things that I like.

What I Do

I do web.

I create, manage, and simplify complex online projects. I thrive in digital environments.

I collect numbers.

I analyze user engagement and track online impact. I use data to help clients make smarter decisions.

I use creativity.

I use writing, design, and multimedia to convey clear and elegant messages.

My specialty is tying the pieces together.

I organize people, tools, time, and information into systems that work. I assemble projects, cultivate collaborative environments, and get things done.

Some of my talents

General Skills
productivity
organization
sitting idle

I find immense personal satisfaction in figuring out how to do more with less.

I keep projects clean and well-organized. It’s part of my work ethic.

I’m not good at sitting around and doing nothing. It’s just not my thing.

Creative Skills
communication
photoshop
adobe suite

I have a knack for writing, speaking, presenting, and producing great messages.

I rock Photoshop almost every day. I know all the best keyboard shortcuts.

I heart InDesign, Illustrator, and Premiere Pro. I don’t do Flash.

Web Skills
code
analytics
project coordination

I do a lot of front end web work. I also play with Ruby and contribute on GitHub.

I mine Google Analytics and social media tracking tools to gain insight.

I put pieces together and simplify complex projects.

How I spend my time

work
play
self-study
side projects

I take my work seriously, but I also really enjoy it. I tend to be less concerned with filling hours and more concerned with doing a good job and adding value to an organization. I find great satisfaction in producing results.

In my free time I juggle, I tend an urban porch garden, I do extreme sports (such as skydiving, white water kayaking, and snowboarding), I play cards, I run around outside, I dance like a fool, and I ride my bike everywhere.

I view learning as a life-long endeavor. I’m always looking to improve my knowledge and learn new skills, and I usually have my nose stuffed in a book. There’s enough info online to keep me occupied for several lifetimes, which is part of the reason why I love the web.

I always have new ideas and projects running in the background. When I encounter an interesting project, I carve out time for it. I like using my free time to explore new ideas and make meaningful contributions to my community.

Things I like

Innovation

I gravitate toward spaces that support innovation and give ideas room to grow. Good ideas move society forward.

Collaboration

I draw on diverse strengths to solve problems. Individuals can accomplish more when they work together.

Openness

I support open source solutions both in theory and in practice. Transparency creates trust; sharing builds community.

I’ve built my personal and professional success on a foundation of clear, honest, and open communication.
