As a designer, I’ve spent my career living in the mosaic of creativity, organization, and developing people. After teaching Graphic Design in Higher Education for almost 15 years, I went for my terminal degree in the arts, an MFA in Film. I wanted credentials that complimented my MS in Communication Design to continue teaching, mentoring, and coaching other young creatives in their career endeavors. While starting to work in the film industry, I fell in love with art direction, extracting every detail from a script to visually communicate the characters and story. However, when my body couldn’t keep up with life on set, I was diagnosed with Lyme disease and mold toxicity. Also certified for Home Staging and Paint Color Consultations, I staged my first vacant home before the pandemic shut everything down. It was a blessing in disguise for me to be able to heal and teach graphics online. Back in my hometown after the pandemic, I reconnected with a college friend whose serial entrepreneurial ways were launching a startup. I joined his team to learn about launching a revolutionary product and building a company when he generously crafted a position for me that combined my creativity and writing/editing skills. Throughout my career, I’ve always been involved with church and a young adult ministry called the Potter's House with creative direction and community leadership. This year, I was trained to be an Unstoppable Growth coach at Seacoast Church and have loved helping people find purpose through listening and asking questions. Coaching has been on of my favorite and ways to combine creative problem solving and community-focused leadership.Enneagram 9w1 // Peacemaker Myers Briggs: INFJ (100% ambivert)DISC test: "Influencing" with high "Steady" Top 5 CliftonStrengths: Connectedness, Empathy, Adaptability, Positivity, and Strategic
