Dawn Holmberg’s Summary

I am a recent graduate of Web Design from Hennepin Technical College. I've worked with Push Institute [http://www.pushthefuture.org] on their website migration and re-design, and now I'm ready to take the next step into full time employment.

In interning at Push, I've discovered that my greatest value is in the fulfillment of websites designed by others. In other words, I actually like doing what other people hate to do -- the grunt work of putting in the hours to transfer, update, test and maintain sites, and so forth. I am a detail-oriented, task-focused, excellence-committed worker.

I can give support in getting things done, and in doing the time-intensive labor of web production.

Realizing that web technology is constantly changing, I seek to learn more skills through user groups, webinars, and education.
