Profile
In everything I take on I strive to reach people in a meaningful way. Whether it is through
the written word; a clever video; or an interactive media project; I want to engage people.
I enjoy being a collaborative part of the creative process in communications, publications,
and digital media. The energy and enthusiasm I bring to my work has allowed me to
achieve success in the publishing sector. I am eager to apply these skills to additional
market segments in the community.
