Experience 

Brinker International ~ 6820 Lyndon B Johnson Freeway, Dallas, TX 75240 ~ 972-980-9917~Supervisor – Pete Premenko ~ Intern for People Works in Second Life Project

I earned the internship at Brinker International over the rest of the class. I spent the next 4 months working with People Works to plan and design the environment they required. The process included modeling, texturing, and programming the environment from concept to completion. This also entailed meeting deadlines on time, preparing a package for presentation during the spring meeting, conducting meetings with staff, and having the project ready by the end of my internship.
