I am an executive-level communicator with a passion for developing a creative theme into a robust event promotion suite of print collateral, digital support, venue wayfinding and curated social media content.
 

I have earned a BFA in Visual Communication/Graphic Design from the University of Kansas and have pursued further studies in communication and marketing. My career has spanned various industries—from business-to-business magazine production to sports, events, non-profit, and education sectors. I've excelled in various roles, from sole staff designer to collaborative freelancer, to department manager, garnering invaluable experience alongside talented teams.
 

For nearly a decade, I championed literacy and community engagement on the communications team for a local public library district, leveraging print, environmental, and digital platforms to reach audiences of all ages and backgrounds.
 

Currently, I manage the marketing department at a higher education institution's student center, leading a team of 10-12 professionals and students. Through mentorship and hands-on leadership, I equip graphic design, social media, and marketing students to excel in their respective fields. I am also working to complete a Master's degree after extensive time away from academic pursuits.
