My time as a Graphic Designer with the Extended Education & Outreach office at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln involved a broad range of design work. The majority of my work focused on designing mailing materials, including postcards and brochures, while also working on long-term projects such as course handbooks for university courses. Additionally, I worked on mass emails and the occasional web graphic. I was also responsible for redesigning the brand image for an educational consortium known as Great Plains IDEA, which is currently in the final approval stage. The designs for EE&O had to appeal to a broad range of age groups as the department managed distance education courses for high school, undergraduate and graduate programs. I was expected to recognize what appealed to every demographic and design accordingly. My employment at EE&O was temporary as I filled in for the full-time designer on maternity leave.

While working at Archrival I served as an intern, designing and executing a variety of work for multiple clients and in-house projects and while also working to maintain the office. What differentiates working at Archrival from many ad agencies is their focus on youth branding. This attention on a younger market helped me develop an understanding of the latest trends and what appeals to the young-adult market. Additionally, I had the opportunity to work closely with some of the clients and develop strong client relationships. Overall, my experience at Archrival afforded me great insight into the youth market and how to develop appealing marketing for specific demographics.

My duties as an Assistant Store Manager ranged from assisting customers with their purchases to working with the daily register operations. Beyond the daily managerial operations I also worked closely with employees on training and disciplining. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to assist the store manager on selecting items to sell in the store, including apparel and sports items. In time, I began working on the in-store displays as well as window displays, becoming a merchandiser of all our products.

I spent my time at Thought District as a Design Intern, researching client history and needs and working to create fresh and new design according to client expectations. My time was occupied by several different projects that I worked on simultaneously, including completely revising a brochure for a local client and creating design elements for many other projects.

The Resident Assistant job included a diverse array of responsibilities, ranging from duty shifts to ensure the dormitory was operating smoothly, planning social and educational events, upholding dorm policies, working with hall government on events, and helping residents coping with stress or tragedies. After working in the position for a few years I became a leader among my staff and helped new RAs acclimate to the position. My greatest strength as an RA was developing strong bonds with the residents on my floor. I was proud to be a person they turned to when they had an occasion to celebrate or when they needed advice or comfort. While the position expected a great deal of varied work, I enjoyed every part of it, which explains my lengthy stay in the job.
