What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can blend education and creativity—leading engaging programming, supporting teams and volunteers, and creating strong visual/content experiences with clear communication and growth-minded collaboration.

I’m an Education Specialist with a strong creative foundation, combining hands-on youth and community programming with real-world customer and operations support. At Creative Chicago Reuse Exchange, I sort donations, help customers, oversee volunteers, and support our educational programming—keeping experiences engaging and running smoothly.

Over the years, I’ve also built a career across creative leadership and production: photographing tourists on Skydeck, supporting studio events and online presence, editing books for publishing, and serving as Creative Director for both magazine covers and daily shop operations. I bring structured communication and program-ready energy from teaching art/science/sports and guiding teen residential programming to creating and promoting content across social media and video.
