Alia Hutchins
Summary
I’m a media creator that explores visual artwork and digital music with a background in programming classes. I took every programming class offered at my high school, including their AP Computer Science offering, to the point that I continued my education in the last year of high school dual-enrolled in the local community college, branching out from my background in Java to learning C++ and strengthening my abilities with object-oriented programming languages on a base level. During a period of time where I had to take temporary leave from my Champlain College career, I pursued additional work experience and further teachings from the community college to broaden my horizons, hone my crafts, and adapt myself more to the job market. Upon my return, I specialized in digital music production and developed proficiency in Logic Pro through multiple years in educational experience.
