Laura Kerbyson, M.S. – Brief Biography


Letter of Reference and Performance Summaries

I don’t normally publically post letters of recommendation but there were some positions I’ve applied for recently where I had to submit the application before receiving this letter. Because I don’t have direct emails in all cases, we are hoping that they might see the letter here if they review my work on the web site.

This is a letter of recommendation from my last employer (West Virginia University at Parkersburg) and summaries of my performance evaluations for work performed from 2008-2011. I have other letters of recommendation but I think in all cases those letters were submitted.

If you need the letters of recommendations, please do not hesitate to contact me by phone or by email. I do not have caller ID enabled on that number, so please leave a message if I am unavailable. I also do not have texting turned on for that number. So please don’t text and expect a response. Thank you.

Backgroud

Laura has over 20 years of experience in marketing, communications, web development, computer science, graphics, animation and publishing. She has many years of experience in higher education as a professor, designer and developer.

laurakerbyson.com services a wide variety of industries for digital marketing, web development, technology consulting, advertising, and communications.

From 2008-2011 she was an Assistant Professor of Telecommunications and Computer Science and was named Interim Department Head in 2009 and promoted to Department Head in 2010. She was responsible for Animation, Game, Web Design and Software Engineering programs.

Her experience and clients include work for companies such as Executive Suites, GE subsidiaries, Hard Rock, Northeastern University, Florida International University, Knight-Ridder, The Miami Herald, The Columbus Dispatch, UPI, magazines, hospitals and manufacturing firms.

Her leadership also includes managing and teaching a team of students that redesigned a site for M.I.T. and serving in a management and creative capacity for Hard Rock Park.

She was part of the founding team that built the $600 million dollar project in Myrtle Beach, SC. Many people knew her work best through the Hard Rock Park web site, newsletters and through the animations on the highway 501 video billboard.

She served as web manager, animator and artist at the park.

In her work at the park, she worked with and managed external creative, technology and media companies. laurakerbyson.com specializes in branding, positioning, communications, web development, graphic design, SEO optimization and creative online and print collateral.

Laura has an M.S. from Ohio University where she graduated with a 4.0 GPA and attended graduate school on a full scholarship.

Clarification – Her web background is as a developer not just in using CMS systems but also coding (programming and languages). What separates her from traditional marketing people is that she has many years in computer science as a practitioner and as a full-time professor. She has root level access to the servers for all her clients. Although her work is a hybrid of techniques, many pieces were created (programmed) by Laura.

Her regular blog on technology, marketing and art is on hiatus for a while.


Updates

New Site Design

There’s a new site design on the main site at http://laurakerbyson.com.  I hope everyone likes it.

Omar the Orchid

Omar the Orchid is a children’s’ project that is a long term project in progress. Periodically, I’ll post updates to milestones on the new twitter page. I’m not really promoting that page it’s just being used to mark progress on the project.

I still would like to develop Maude and Claude into an illustrated storybook at some point but right now that project is on the back burner.
