Computer skills
- My computer skills include: Microsoft Office, Google Documents & Sheets, Dropbox, Mac OS, Lightroom, and a bunch of other stuff…
- I still need to learn: more Photoshop & InDesign skills, and I’d like to learn some programming (HTML, CSS, and other languages such as Java or Python)
Research & writing skills
- My greatest strengths as a researcher/writer include: strong writing skills; excellent grammar; knowledge of how to write a “college-level” paper; good research skills, etc…
- I need to work on these aspects of research and writing: planning ahead of time in order to meet deadlines, such as planning extra steps like writing an outline
- I learn best & accomplish most when: I’m interested in what I’m studying
Action plan

- firmly schedule times to shoot
- firmly schedule times to develop film & print
