Hi – I'm Mark

Education
Computing Science Minor
SFU Summit Scholarship I chose a blend of two different programs because I felt that they complimented each other rather well. Design studies (School of Interactive Arts and Technology - SIAT) helped me to understand what people want from their technologies, while allowing me to practice these techniques in team-based projects. Computing science helped to teach me how to make these desires a reality, and gave me the opportunity grow on my own. The two combine together, to make me more flexible than a typical Computing Science graduate, while possessing deeper skills than most SIAT graduates.
Awards: Info Tech, Theatre Tech, Chemistry A student of LFAS has a compressed academic timetable. In addition to the usual class work (Science, Social Studies, etc.) students are expected to spend 2 hours of the school day pursuing their chosen major, with additional options available outside of school hours. In my case, I joined the technical theatre program, and the drama ensemble, holding the male lead in our 2005 production of The Trojan Women.
About Me
I have a diverse background, drawing from interactive design, computing science and the performing arts to create and manage ideas in the world around me. With nine years submersed in team environments, I am an accomplished team player and leader, with a diverse collaborative skillset, and an interest in learning new things.
