Skill Set Inventory.

1. What is your favorite thing to do outside of school? I really enjoy hanging out with my friends, traveling, working at the wine bar, visiting new places, relaxing with my dogs, watching movies, working out (cross fit), & sitting down and reading a good book. 
2. What is your favorite class and explain why it is your favorite? My favorite class would have to be.... gym class in high school. Because it really helped me figure out what type of work-outs I liked to do, and which ones I hated. 
3. What are you good at doing in New Media? I really enjoy filming, editing, and I'm just currently getting into sound. 
4. What are you good at doing outside of New Media? Honestly, meeting people. I always try to keep in contact with people I've met because it really helps when you need help with something and you know that person has something to offer and would be happy to help you. 
5. What is your favorite area of New Media (you don't have to be good at it, but you have to like whatever you talk about for this one?) My favorite area would have to be filming and editing. I really enjoy learning more about it and different techniques to use. 
6. Do you prefer to work independently or in a group? Please explain why. I prefer, both. I really like changing things up sometimes. I can honestly do both and be fine with it.

8. In a group project explain what you usually end up doing. I usually end up finding locations to film/people to act. I'm the one who is a pretty easy going person who will do whatever I need to do, and yes... I get it done.
9. In a perfect group what would you like to end up working on? (i.e. hands-on work, research, presentation, web development, planning, etc.) Probably.. Presentation/Polishing a Project & Planning
10. What is your opinion of group work? Please explain why. I agree with everything we talked about in class. That you are put with a random group of people who you never know what they are going to do. You could always have the quiet one, the bossy one, & the dumbass. But you have to all come together and work hard together or someones (if not all) grades would suffer. 
11. How do you think other people would describe you? I think... people think.. that I'm nice, helpful, outgoing, talkative, mysterious, & relaxed.
12. How would you describe yourself? I would describe myself as easy-going, strong, hard-working, respectful, & level-headed.
13. What do you do when a group project goes bad? I would try to figure out what could be done to fix it, communicate with the other members, get in touch with the teacher, and probably other things... I just can't think right now :( I'm not going to say that I'm a saint, because I do work, very hard & sometimes that gets in the way of school. But in the past people are really amazing at working with me, I personally just always try to keep in contact with everyone- so they don't just think I dropped off the face of the earth. 
14. What is civic engagement in your opinion? Working with others & helping out.
15. What experience have you had working with community partners, either on your own, through school, church, or in any other capacity?

16. What do you know about Keep Indianapolis Beautiful (KIB?) That they are located by my old house on Fletcher Ave.
