Meet an Information Technology Student
Katherine Philipp, a graduate of Uintah High School, states, "I became interested in multimedia and career and technical education my first year in high school when I began taking business and computer classes. I enjoyed the learning experiences in the basic word processing and introduction to computer courses, and decided to take more advanced classes my junior year. I knew multimedia was the perfect fit for my passion for design and for my interest in technology and computers."
During senior year, Katherine became more involved with multimedia as part of a team that helped build an interactive touch-screen kiosk application for the museum in Vernal, Utah. The multimedia classes she took in high school are what influenced her to pursue a degree in the area of information technology. Katherine attended Utah Valley State College and graduated with one of the first bachelor of science degrees in multimedia. While going to school, she was hired to operate the productions on the jumbotron show for the Utah Grizzlies hockey games, where she learned how to operate the Chyron graphics generator.”
Currently, Katherine is doing an internship with the Disney College
Program at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. Her internship is
with the Magic Kingdom Communications Coordinators office.
