EDUCATION & DESIGN EXPERIENCE
I studied design for four years at Florida Gulf Coast University graduating with a bachelor’s degree in digital media design with a focus on graphic design. While working as a graphic designer for the FGCU Recreation & Wellness Center I advanced to a leadership position overseeing the team of designers in addition to my design tasks. In that leadership role I distributed and assigned design tasks to the graphic designers, I planned an led marketing staff meeting. As a part of the marketing department leadership team I was involved in the interview and hiring process of new designers. When leading the team of 16, I encouraged collaboration and environment where we could learn from each other.
My freshman year of college I made the decision to continue my love for playing volleyball by joining the FGCU Club Volleyball team. I played on the team for one year before I was elected by the team to hold the title of social media manager. In this role I created a style guide for social media posts and promotional materials. I then followed the style guide to design a variety of digital marketing as well as design jerseys. As the volleyball season concluded I then had the opportunity to work with Collier County Museums creating social media graphics. I created graphics to promote exhibits and events at all 5 museums.
