I have completed a semester of graphic design at the USD Community College for Sioux Falls, an associate’s degree in marketing, an associate’s degree in business administration, and now an associate’s degree in media design technology. I am very happy that I decided to extend my marketing education to designing because that’s where my creativity really shines. I enjoy being able to bring ideas to life through the use of different technologies and mediums. I am passionate about planning, organizing, and executing effective designs. I love exploring the areas of storyboarding, filming, photography, photo/video editing, layout, typography, web design, and print production. I thrive when I can be part of a creative team that will challenge and enhance each other.
I have spent a year interning in marketing communications at North Central International. My role involves working closely with the marketing manager to perform the various tasks required for in-house marketing. I have gained experience creating ads for various mediums, creating flyers, creating signage, creating trade show banners and displays, performing market research, planning advertising campaigns, and coordinating various events. The internship has been very challenging but rewarding, and I have learned so much by taking on every new project that has come my way.
For fun, I have been taking adult beginner ballet classes once a week. I enjoy the ballet classes and that I am pushing myself to learn new things and go farther than I ever thought possible by going outside of my comfort zone. I also deeply enjoy drawing, coloring, and painting, where I can turn my inspirations into reality by envisioning my idea, planning the materials, researching, sketching, and then executing different techniques to achieve the results I desire.
