To better illustrate my skill set, here’s an example of the kind of project I love to do and be a part of, which combines my BA in Renaissance Studies with my first MA in Media Studies and my work as a digital media producer/editor: 

The Digital Aura: Selfie & Renaissance Gaze Shift an interactive paper by Carolyn A. McDonough, April 2014

[please note: This is an academic piece from my private venture blog, CultureArtMedia.com, which chronicles the  unique adventures I have in culture/art/media and was borne from a scholarship I received from the Museum of Modern Art to take the online course CATALYSTS: Artists Creating with Sound, Video and Time. Vimeo will advance the embedded video to additional videos from my blog, some of which are performing arts-related in voice and acting, which is another aspect of my professional life.]

Another example is my recent/current work that I developed in the Interactive Technology and Pedagogy Certificate Program, which is also my research at the New Media Lab and my Independent Study project toward the ITP certificate:
