Summary

I've worked with multiple groups of people of varied backgrounds, and communicated effectively with them in order to build a better network. I've spent nearly three years practically living inside Adobe InDesign and Photoshop, creating graphics and materials for both professional and personal projects. Since January of 2023, I've managed a team to create a monthly publication of original writing and graphics. I excel in project management, social engagement, and creating engaging graphic elements.
