Andrew Kippen’s Summary
My professional experience has been a melange of Public Relations, Events Management, Systems Administration, Web Design, Programming, Marketing Strategy, and Business Development. If you could graduate with a liberal arts degree in work, I think I might qualify. I suppose that's what I get with a degree in International Communications.
That said I love technology - not for its own sake - but for what it empowers us to do. For most of us that means making things easier, better, or faster. For some of us that also means making the world a safer, healthier, smarter place. I'm trying to be the latter and spread that desire.
