David Rush’s Summary
New to the professional world, I am always seeking a unique challenging position to help me learn and grow. After having a very well rounded education, I want to continue to explore different opportunities. I have never been satisfied with the idea of learning about one thing very deeply because I believe that an individual with a varied skill set brings more to the table than one who only knows one thing very well. I love what I'm doing now, but who knows what is next for me!

David Rush’s Education
-
Carnegie Mellon University
BS , Psychology, Human Computer Interaction, Photography , 2003 — 2007
With interests in so many different areas, I made sure to seek a very broad education in many different areas. I ended up with BS degrees in both Psychology and Human Computer Interaction, as well as a minor in Photography and Digital Imaging. All of these areas are diverse themselves, which is partially what I enjoyed so much about them. I hope that whatever I do in the future gives me the same chance to experience such a diverse set of fields.
