Jennifer Petric

Much of the graphics and interactivity on the kid's pages are due to the expertise of Jennifer Petric.

After transferring to The University of Akron in the summer of 1998, Jennifer decided that her interest in computer technology could spark a career. She changed majors and spent the next three years working toward a degree in computer programming technology. During those years, Jennifer participated in the design and implementation of three large-scope projects. She developed a database program to monitor employees, inventory, sales and orders for a hardware store, including written documentation manuals, using Delphi 5 and MS-SQL. She also designed and developed computer software to maintain a patient database for a veterinary hospital using VB6, Delphi 5, and MS-SQL. The last large-scope program she assisted with was an online store program using Oracle and SQLPlus, for which she scripted documentation of the system.

After graduation in May 2001, Jennifer turned her focus toward her first love, writing. Deciding formal training was necessary, she again enrolled at UA, this time studying Communication. Jennifer is a News major. She currently works at Body Sculpting, Inc. Upon graduation in December 2003, she hopes to work in new media, including web design and web writing.
