About
Digital Designer and Developer
I am a lifelong resident of Buffalo, New York, and graduated from Canisius College with a Bachelor's degree in Digital Media Arts and a minor in Computer Science. I completed a 5-month study abroad program in 2014, attending the University of the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia, where I studied Graphic Design.
I have over 8 years of marketing experience, both in an agency setting and working for large and small businesses. My focus has primarily been on digital channels, though I also have some experience with print work.
In my spare time, I enjoy going to the gym, taking dance classes, and snuggling with my dog. I am working towards baking the perfect croissant, learning conversational Japanese, and hopefully, one day, succeeding at gardening.
