Aspiring graphic designer with a strong foundation in web coding.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated graphic designer and web coding enthusiast currently pursuing my Associate Degree in IT-Graphic Design at Lake Land College. My experience as a Beauty Associate at Sally Beauty Supply has honed my customer service skills, allowing me to create a welcoming shopping environment while managing inventory effectively.
In addition to my retail experience, I have contributed to the student-run newspaper, The Navigator, as a Reporter and Layout and Design Editor. This role allowed me to develop my writing and graphic design skills, culminating in a multi-page layout that enhanced our publication's visual appeal. I also gained hands-on experience in graphic design through my internship at Lake Land College's Graphic Design/Printshop, where I learned the intricacies of print production.
