What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values creativity and community engagement, offering opportunities for growth and collaboration.

With over 15 years of experience as a Multimedia Specialist and Digital Content Strategist, I have dedicated my career to enhancing brand presence and community engagement through innovative media solutions. My journey began with a BFA in Fine Arts from the Rochester Institute of Technology, which laid the foundation for my expertise in graphic design, social media management, and multimedia production.

At the Indiana School for the Deaf, I directed photography and videography for various school programs and events, managed website content, and led social media strategies. My role as IADemy Director at the Indiana Association of the Deaf allowed me to expand ASL education outreach significantly. As the Founder and Creative Director of 14th Street Media, I have collaborated with numerous small businesses and nonprofits, providing tailored branding and media production services that resonate with their audiences.
