About

With training in UX/UI design, graphic design, social media marketing, and integrated communications, I am an energized, passionate individual who has a love for digital design, content creation for all mediums, and content strategy. I am a School of Media Arts and Design (SMAD) Graduate from James Madison University with ~2 years of industry experience and a background in communication studies

Why Digital Design?

When I applied to JMU, I was a pre-nursing student. I took classes for two semesters in hopes I would fall in love with the profession. I felt stuck because I wasn't able to express myself in any of my assignments; I quickly realized she needed a change. I knew I needed to pursue a major that would challenge me to use my creativity daily. That’s when I found the School of Media Arts and Design (SMAD). I pursued Interactive Design so I could immerse myself into many different corners of the digital world at once. I had a thirst for learning about visual design and was intrigued by the ways in which people experience it. Throughout my four years at James Madison, I gained experience in graphic design, advertising, digital marketing, photography, videography, public relations, and UX/UI design.

Where has she gone?

The School of Media Arts and Design prepared me for numerous career paths, and so I started my career at Augusta Health as a graphic designer. My current responsibilities include content strategy and creation for a variety of mediums, copywriting for social media posts, and working with a team of talented individuals to create emotive storytelling campaigns.
