As a Senior Associate, I provided my expertise with marketing graphics, launch campaigns, email marketing, social media content creation, and precision designs for web and print. In July 2022, I stepped into the role of interim coordinator for DAM (data asset management) and PIM (product image management). Contributing to the final push in the beta to the alpha launch of the company's website redesign. I learned about data architecture and best practices for information management, to pave a clear and efficient path for asset retrieval and distribution to sales reps, stakeholders, and internal team members. While working toward a centralized hub for the anticipation of a future eCommerce environment, I created an accurate single source of truth and a better user experience overall for both B2B and B2C.

If I did not change my career to design, I definitely would have stayed at Bank of America for the rest of my working life.
