Store Clerk at Once Upon a Time Toys

By • On • In Employment, Teams and Groups

Alma provided support to customers by making recommendations, answering questions, wrapping purchases and retrieving items. Most of the clientele of the store were impressed by the thoughtfulness of her recommendations, and valued her opinion as an educator-in-training.

Alma performed and oversaw transactions from initial store greetings to sale and delivery of items, including requests for items to be delivered to parents while children were distracted. She performed inventory upkeep and ran reports, and also balanced the register, created daily deposits and maintained store appearance and stockroom organization. On multiple occasions Alma trained new hires on the operation of the Point of Sale system and customer service expectations. Alma was often responsible for opening and closing the store, and full operations without on-site management.

Video Editor, SmART in the City program DVD, sponsored by the Cleveland Foundation

By • On • In Coursework and Research, Productions

One of the great benefits of the Film & Digital Media program was the ability to do professional work around the Cleveland area in conjunction with courses. Most of these are featured elsewhere in my CV.

In Alma’s Advanced Video and Audio Editing class, she was given video footage from a summer arts and education program organized by the Cleveland Foundation and she got to edit those hours of footage in to a 2-3 minute montage of interviews and performance. This was then assembled with other similar pieces and presented to the students and foundation donors as a produced DVD in the program at an event, which Alma supported technology for.

Alma ingested and logged DV tape and edited the piece using AVID DV Pro.

After taking a course in Multi-Source Live Video Production, Alma was qualified to join the crew of students who shot the University Men’s and Women’s Basketball games. During her time on staff, she regularly ran cables and set up cameras and tripods on the arena platforms before and after games. In addition, she operated cameras during most games both in the seating areas and immediately court side (on one occasion, Alma was even stepped on by a fast-moving J’Nathan Bullock) and she ran CG, updating scores for several games.
