I volunteer on the marketing committee of Archbishop Walsh Academy, providing guidance for the web site and other collateral, including brochures and fliers. Activities have included participating in various annual fundraisers, promoting awareness among local real estate agents, and rebranding the school.

As an intern, I was given a great deal of responsibility that enabled me to grow my graphic design skills. Some specific responsibilities included designing logos and holiday cards, laying out magazines for Toyota and Lexus, creating postcards for Lexus, and aiding in organization on photo shoots. Since the company is very small, I was expected to work independently with minimal help. The company represented an array of clients from a non-profit Hospital, to a small specialty fish-tank business, to large auto manufacturers; this variety of "bosses" helped to teach me to tailor to the client's expectations.
