Jackson Brown-Farrow

For fourteen years I consistently ranked at the top of my classes and achieved first and second honors throughout grade and high school. I've always been one to cruise through hard work and get things done. I'm highly organized, very analytical, skilled with computers, and place a high priority to attention to detail. Alongside that, I can adapt to working both with others and on my own. I'm a good listener and highly personable, so I don't have any difficulties dealing with and handling others.

Consecutive first and second honors for every year of grade school and high school.

Received multiple extra awards after graduating grade school and high school.

Referred to and accepted into the Buffalo Honors Society in my senior year of high school.

Accepted into each of my colleges of choice.

Skipped 2 years of Math and finished Pre-calculus and Calculus I in high school.

Skipped 2 years of Music Theory and finished Jazz Theory and Music History in high school.

Musically, I write and produce my own music. Some I upload onto the internet, others I keep to record later. I like to write, arrange, and produce for a large range of genres, but I take a special liking to different subgenres of hard rock, metal, and EDM (electronic dance music). I've played concerts for school, pep rallies, bars, bakeries, and orchestras. I've played alongside my high school guitar instructor Mr. Jared Tinkham and Buffalo State University's Mark Filsinger in many of those.

Artistically, I like to draw both digitally and traditionally (pencil on paper). I grew up drawing still-frames from my favorite YouTube animations and logos. A while later, I would take "commissions" from friends. Now, I mainly keep my visual art to myself and my accounts as a hobby, but I still get requests to draw things for people. My dad's luxury soap business, my mom's tattoos, my stepmother's salon, et cetera.

With computers, I've always been glued to while I was growing up. Watching YouTube videos, designing things on Microsoft Office, and playing games. Nowadays, I'm quite skilled and know my way around a Windows computer. My grandmother retired from a lifelong job in IT, working with the city of Buffalo, and my father was always very resourceful, and since I was younger, they've taught me a lot of what they know in these fields.
