THE HACK-A-THON:

What is Cypher V?

Cypher V is the 5th installment of the College of William & Mary’s annual computer science hack-a-thon. Over the course of 37 sleep-free hours, teams of students collaborate to create projects that solve real world problems, improve quality of life, entertain, and more. (All skill levels are welcome!)

At the end of the weekend, the teams present their projects to a panel of judges, who award prizes in multiple categories like Innovation and Complexity.

THE SIDE HUSTLE: VOICE ACTOR

How’d you get started in voice acting? What’s the journey been like?

I’m still at the beginning stages! I started with coaching and online training through a Studio in New York. My coach was the voice of a popular Saturday cartoon called Yu-Gi-OH.

Since then, I’ve trained with multiple coaches and made a lot of connections. I now have a website and an agent based in Atlanta.

I’ve worked on a few commercials for car and RV dealerships, a YouTube Web trailer series, and some professional narrations.

I also help run a conference every other year – the Mid-Atlantic Voiceover Conference, or MAVO for short. It’s based in Herndon, Virginia and brings voice actors from all over to meet and work with the pros. It’s a huge success, and I love being a part of it.

The future that data experts and science fiction authors have long predicted is here: digital data runs our world.

When effectively interpreted and harnessed, data helps us make strategic decisions, improve inefficiencies, better engage our audience, and provide deeper value to customers. Data automation at scale is the competitive future, and Whereoware has an entire Customer Insights (CI) team obsessed with all-things-data.

THE ADVENTURE:

Where did you go?

I flew to Salt Lake City, rented a car, and explored 4/5 National Parks in Utah. I visited Arches, Canyonlands, Zion, and Bryce Canyon over a ten-day span and hiked close to 100 miles in that time. I lived off of peanut butter sandwiches to save money, but every once in a while, I’d splurge on some deli meat and have the meal of a lifetime.

Each month, we’ll be interviewing one of our fab employees here at Whereoware. For November, we get to know Dominique Bini, our Email Marketer, a little better.

WHO:

What’s your name? Dominique Bini
Job title: Email Marketer

BACKGROUND:

Favorite food: Fish Tacos (On The Boarder has the best!)
Hidden talents: Bobbing & weaving through crowds – my friends get left in the dust at concerts. I also have a knack for calligraphy and remembering birthdays.
If there were a movie of my life, I’d be played by: Kristen Bell, she’s little but sassy.
One item you would bring with you to a desert island and why: My little Jeep Renegade. I can trek the island with 4×4 and there’s handy stuff in there like a first aid kit, hand sanitizer and a flash light.

THE ADVENTURE:

Where did you go?

Gates of the Arctic, Alaska. This 2-week journey started at the top of the Brooks Range, 110 miles north of the Arctic Circle. Without a guide, I explored 145 miles of untouched Alaskan wilderness, hiking and pack-rafting through the most brutal conditions I ever experienced.

Each month, we’ll be interviewing one of our fab employees here at Whereoware. For September, we get to know Madison Herbert, our Internal Marketer, a little better.

WHO:

What’s your name? Madison Herbert
Job title: Internal Marketer

BACKGROUND:

Favorite food: Korean BBQ. I’ve never met a bulgogi I didn’t like.
Hidden talents: I’m a wiz in the kitchen and I can sing every word to almost any 80’s greatest hit (I’m really a 90’s kid, but an 80’s kid at heart). Oh, and sorting M&M’s by color (#OCDproblems).
If there were a movie of my life, I’d be played by: Zooey Deschanel. She’s my spirit animal.
One item you would bring with you to a desert island and why: Hermione’s enchanted purse. It’s the perfect survivor kit, obviously.
In a zombie apocalypse, my weapon of choice would be: The cloak of invisibility (yes, another HP reference). I’m just not cut out for blood and guts and zombie slaying. I think my greatest chance of survival would be to live my best post-apocalyptic life under the radar.
