Resumé

My name is Seneca Flowers (Riggins). I graduated from the University of Wyoming with a degree in journalism in the summer 2012. Afterward, I taught Reporting and News Writing at the University of Wyoming while completing my master's coursework in communications. Throughout my education, I have held many positions in print and web media. Although I do work full-time, I am still a freelance and independent media guy who gets it all done. I have shot stills and video for newspapers, magazines and web. I've done posters, portraits and billboards. No design too tedious as I am skilled in tabs, tables and typography.
 
In addition, I have done the following:
...worked at a Digital Managing Editor for Townsquare Media.
...worked as as Chief Editor of the Branding Iron student newspaper.
...worked as both an intern and a contract employee for the Wyoming Tribune Eagle newspaper in Cheyenne.
...worked for several publications as either freelance or as an intern for writing, photography and graphic design.
...designed logos for and print material for several organizations.
...was co-chief editor of the Wingspan student newspaper. During that time, I won several awards, both individually and as a whole. (See below)
