VIEW RESUME

I learn.  A value I feel is of extreme importance to being a successful designer is to never stop learning. As much as I love being part of a team where I can add a fresh, ambitious perspective, I also strive to gain knowledge from those who have already learned from experience. I have the utmost respect for my college professors for teaching me the value of criticism and thinking conceptually. I have further enhanced my time management skills, branding standing adherence, and stakeholder relationships throughout my professional career. I look forward to continuing my design career where these principles continue to play a key role in my design future.

I travel. There is so much to learn and see from other cultures. Traveling has opened my eyes to a world I had never imagined and given me countless experiences from which to draw inspiration.

I design. My positive attitude, amazing mentors, life-giving experiences, love of learning, and unstoppable drive shape who I am. Never giving up, thinking critically, and striving for the best will continue to be my mantras moving forward in my professional career.

“Laughter is timeless. Imagination has no age. And dreams are forever.” -Walt Disney

My Story

I have been so fortunate to study and work at Purdue. At Purdue University Press, I worked alongside the editorial team to learn formatting styles and gain copy-editing and typesetting skills. I incorporate this knowledge when designing graphics and implementing marketing plans as creative services manager at Purdue Libraries. I’m currently working on my MBA with a concentration in marketing to help continue to expand my skill set.

During my role as creative marketing lead at DATTUS, Inc., an industrial automation startup company, I never knew what life was going to throw at me next. Wearing multiple hats and being creative, positive, and adaptable played a key role in my personal success at the company.

Being a marketing communications specialist at TRW Automotive taught me how to effectively communicate visually to portray desired concepts and messages in a particular industry. This experience gave me the opportunity to work with new medium including large format print materials such as sidewalk posters and trailer wraps.
