As an alum, a current Master’s candidate and a marketing designer for the West Virginia University College of Creative Arts and Media, I have had the privilege of working closely with experts in graphic design and marketing. I have experience incorporating design principles into marketing campaigns and, conversely, marketing strategies into designs. I have worked on campaigns promoting concerts, theatre productions, dance performances, museum exhibitions and recruiting events through a variety of print, digital, broadcast, and out-of-home advertising.

I was raised in rural West Virginia surrounded by the state’s mountainous and colorful scenery and culture. I take great pride in my home and have found myself heavily influenced by traditions and folktales from my Appalachian roots. I strive to always promote and advocate for the growth and prosperity of other stories, whether it be through art, books, plays or songs.
