Since graduation, I’ve been living abroad teaching English as a foreign language. I’m currently working on my master’s degree in education at Sorbonne University and student teaching.
My work is always bringing me to new and exciting places. My first year after graduation, living in Dakar, Senegal, I met interesting people from all over the world and from all walks of life, and I even learned to surf.
Software developer by day, multimedia entrepreneur by night!
I'm a custom applications developer at Northside Hospital here in Atlanta, and I'm also a photographer/videographer/producer/designer for DS Studios, a multimedia creative agency that I co-founded with my partner and fellow IAC alum Doris Amouzou (MS HCI, 2023). It can definitely be hectic at times managing both roles, but as a computational media alum, achieving a technical full-time role and creative entrepreneurial pursuits has been a dream start to my career.
I work as an associate brand manager on the Quilted Northern Brand at Georgia Pacific LLC
Branding has the power to influence people's feelings. Something as inconspicuous as purchasing a certain toilet paper brand can make people feel safe, excited, fancy, or savvy.

National Black Business Month Spotlight: The Bombchel Factory
Both of her grandfathers owned transportation companies. Her father owned a construction company. Entrepreneurship is in Archel Bernard’s DNA.
But to Bernard, STC 2011, being an entrepreneur isn’t just about owning a business. It’s about representing African makers, celebrating the diversity of Atlanta, and letting people know that Georgia Tech prepares you for any challenge that can come your way.
Nettrice R. Gaskins, Ph.D. DM 2014, teaches, writes, “fabs,” and makes art using algorithms and machine learning. During her time as a doctoral candidate in the School of Literature, Media, and Communication, she and her thesis advisor Celia Pearce received a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to look at advancing STEM through culturally situated arts-based learning.
Before getting ready for work, I go over my list of priorities, both professionally and personally.
From a workload perspective, my days are generally half meetings and half strategic work. Strategic work can entail anything from writing communications on behalf of our company to meeting with corporate and community partners to discuss ways that we can expand our brand while also enhancing the lives of the people in the communities in which we operate.
I manage strategic marketing campaigns and initiatives for professional truck drivers and commercial vehicle fleets for RaceTrac and its franchisee brand, RaceWay. My work involves partnering with external marketing agencies and internal marketing teams to drive professional truck drivers to our sites through billboard advertising, loyalty promotions, digital media, and B2B marketing campaigns.
