I am a marketing and communications professional with experience in multiple fields. My goal was always to be a graphics designer and marketer in some form or fashion and that first manifested itself in the sports realm. Throughout undergraduate and graduate school, I had the opportunity to work at the NCAA Division I and III levels which allowed me the chance to gain multiple important perspectives on how to market in difficult circumstances. Through my connections with those universities, I was able to find marketing and communications positions to develop my writing, marketing and graphic design skills along with the realization that the sports industry wasn’t for me.Marketing is marketing and with the skills that I developed I moved into the traditional marketing world on my way to my current position with Wayside Publishing. A brand new challenge and industry that I have more than enjoyed learning. I am always looking to learn a new skill and ask an abundance of questions to gain better knowledge on subjects or processes that I may come into contact with in the future. In writing press releases, working with CMSs, heading up social accounts and spending countless hours on Adobe Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator, I have been able to successfully build a skillset to navigate my professional life and strive to continually grow my knowledge base every single day.
