What is the Emerging Media Masters

I’ve wanted to make apps for my iPhone 3G since I bought it over ten years ago. I attempted to learn how to use various programs to create mobile content on my own and through my business, but it took me some time to realize the amount of work and various tasks required to get a working prototype model. I was introduced to the New Media Institute by a colleague, and I knew right away that the Emerging Media Masters was something I wanted to pursue. The multimedia brownbag luncheons with former NMI all-stars have already changed my perspective on this journey. Following my conversations with a diverse group of professionals, I realized how many different career paths I will be able to pursue.


My EM Journey

When I first entered the NMI, my goal was to become heavily involved in the Augmented Reality field and develop training applications for medical or manufacturing purposes. I believe that this new and emerging field has far more potential and scope than just those two specific areas, and that the knowledge I gain from the NMI will greatly expand the areas I can reach.
