What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated project coordinator with a strong background in UX/UI design and a passion for enhancing user experiences. My journey began at Virginia Tech, where I earned a B.A. in English with a focus on Professional Writing. I further honed my skills with a certificate in User Experience Design from the University of Texas at Austin. Over the years, I have developed a diverse skill set that includes project coordination, data curation, and social media management.
In my current role as a Zero Waste Representative at Universal Waste Systems, I coordinate events and outreach opportunities while tracking social media analytics to improve engagement. My experience as a Production Assistant for major studios like Marvel and Disney has equipped me with the ability to manage schedules and communications effectively. I thrive in dynamic environments and am committed to delivering high-quality results that meet organizational goals.
