I've been making art since before I can remember, and I've always had a passion for creating artwork that could tell its own story, with or without words.

Checking in Strong Museum members and guests. As one of the first interactions that guests have with museum staff, we do our best to get the guests' visit to The Strong off to the best start possible. Emphasis on good customer service and communication skills.

Illustrated the children's book titled A Home Of My Own with author Karen (Lucy) Harris.Worked directly with the author to illustrate a children's book that details the story of a retired racing Greyhound named Lucy. Because I worked directly with the author, this job required a good connection, good conversation, and the ability to be open to her ideas.

Created a visually fun design for a map that was distributed amongst Rochester area High School counselors. The map includes the locations of all of the universities under the umbrella of Rochester's College Access Network, as well as several landmarks in the upper New York region to appeal to any prospective students. Because I was the sole creative team.

As a Student Ambassador, I gave tours and talked to prospective students and their families about the university. I talked to these families face-to-face, by phone, or through chat powers. I also worked in the Office of Undergraduate Admissions at RIT where I worked with prospective students' applications and files.
