Welcome to my Profile website! This website contains a profile of Dr. Debra Matityahu, who is the founder of a nonprofit organization that aids women in Eldoret, Kenya who have suffered from a fistula, or severe child birth injury. This organization not only offers these incredible women surgery, but vocational training or education too. Thanks to Debra, this tragedy may be globally abolished. Debra intially caught my eye when she became the proud recipient of, "The Bay Area's Women of Influence Award" in 2013. The prestige from this organization in addition to being a gynecologist, a mother, and an athlete has culminated to make her an especially fascinating individual.
On this website, you will have access to the magazine article that I produced in my Design class (complete with the text from my paper in English class), a photogallery that I compiled in Web/Audio and my final presentation which serves as the showcase for all aspects of the profile unit. Additionally, we were asked to create a commercial in Web/Audio for our star individual, which can be found below. This was my first attempt at utlizing Adobe After Effects, and it has allowed me to create a new form of digital art that is unlike anything else I've created thus far at Freestyle.
After completing the Profile unit, I have definitely gained a greater appreciation for world in which I live and all the opportunities I have access to. This project has truly opened my eyes to some of the imperfections of the world and has only heightened my respect for my profile star, Dr. Debra Matityahu.
I would like to thank all my interviewees for their time and thoughtful responses and most importantly my Profile star, Dr. Debra Matityahu.
