What is an interactive resume?
This resume has been designed to not only provide the traditional synopsis found in a resume, but to also give more information as to why these items can be placed on my resume. I have included examples of my experience through narratives, pictures and written documentation. I find that this provides you with a much wider grasp of my skills, abilities and knowledge. Please feel free to contact me with any further questions (Contact).
