Legacy Studios Dallas - Photographer
This being their first job post-college, Spencer joined Legacy Studios, a branch of Nationwide Studios that focuses on taking yearbook pictures of K-12 students. They learned the basics of taking yearbook portraits and setup/teardown of photography gear, and they perform some quality assurance (minimal cropping, removing outtakes) before submitting their work for every job.

Vexus Fiber - Intern | Address Manager
Spencer initially worked under the Design branch of this company as an intern, where they mostly performed organization work. They geocoded addresses and transferred data from Exel and Smartsheet into Sitetracker. Upon temporary rehire to cover an employee on maternity leave, they made sure there were no inconsistencies between Sitetracker and the documents available to them, essentially acting as quality control.

This was a summer internship in which about 30 people were hired to serve in different branches of this non-profit organization.

The Mercury - Opinion Columnist
Writing articles for the UTD newspaper took a lot of general research and analytical skills, especially when writing about film. Spencer did just that, essentially acting as a film critic as they wrote about newly-released movies in the first half of 2020, relating them to real life topics such as the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Spencer has been attending UTD from August 2019 to May 2023, pursuing a Bachelor's Degree in "Arts, Technology, and Emerging Communications," or "ATEC," with a concentration in Animation.
