Summarized Narration:
As years passed, the technology
aspect of my career began to take
a different path and now rather
being behind the scenes working
on a solution, I began to have
frequent face time with non-
technical groups and was acting as
more of a liaison translating
technical specifications into
simpler terms which could be
understood by a customer or
business unit.
Media Info:
Meeting and conference room
scenarios will fill the media for
this part of the video.

Summarized Narration:
When I stated to read and gather
information about the SPS
program and more
specifically, the communication
and culture degree, I thought this
would be something which could
help shape the communication
aspect of my daily experiences
which would help expand my
communication in both writing
and speaking, and become a more
well-rounded persons adding to
skills that could be applied to any
situations whether it is business or
personal.

consist mostly of narration
regarding my SPS experience.
