A Bit About Me
I’m a passionate graphic designer with a strong background in social media communication, branding, and visual storytelling. With a keen eye for design and a deep understanding of audience engagement, I specialize in creating compelling visuals that leave a lasting impact.
​
My experience spans across vendor management, event planning, project coordination, and mass communications, thanks to my leadership roles as student body president in both high school and community college. Additionally, I honed my public speaking and speechwriting skills through four years on the speech team—earning a spot as a national qualifier and serving as a team captain.
​
Beyond my leadership experience, I have worked in social media marketing through my internship at the Illinois State University Horticulture Center, where I developed strategies to enhance digital engagement. I am also skilled in Adobe Creative Suite and enjoy tackling design challenges that merge creativity with strategic thinking.
​
I’m currently seeking opportunities where I can apply my expertise in graphic design, communication, and branding to make a meaningful impact. Let's connect!
