With a BA in Public Relations and a MMC in Strategic Communications, I currently serve as a Communications Coordinator at a think tank in Washington, DC. This multi-faceted position includes serving as project manager and lead copyeditor for the program's blogs and publications which includes creating project timelines, soliciting contributors, and disseminating finalized materials to grant funders, policymakers, media outlets, and the general public. I also draft communications plans and reports for funders.

I have been working as a graphic designer since 2009. My current job allows me to work with Adobe Creative Cloud, Drupal, and WordPress. With my previous job of 6 years, I was a design director who oversaw an average of 50 projects weekly. I enjoy logo design, layout design, and digital coloring. In addition to design, I have extensive experience consulting clients on their branding needs. I've helped launch a variety of brands including: restaurants, medical facilities, non-profit organizations, real estate agencies, and more.
