As a graphic designer with a fresh vibrant style, I bring a variety of experiences with print and photographic elements. With a B.F.A. in graphic design from James Madison University, I have acquired professional experience in a variety of settings.  

Currently I work at Ironmark in Annapolis Junction, MD. Where I am a part of the creative department. The team services our clients’ creative needs in digital marketing including digital and offset printing. In addition, I am co-chair of the social committee where we plan and organize company-wide events each month. 

Previously I spent four years as a graphic designer at the University of Baltimore within the Office of Marketing and Creative Services where I designed, developed and implemented graphics for layout, and production for print, social, email, web formats to support university integrated marketing strategies. Prior to accepting the position at UB, I completed a three-month internship with Agrigraphics, Ltd., an agricultural photography and media company in Wisconsin. Through these experiences, I have developed the skill and ability to work collaboratively as well as independently, to meet the needs of clients, and operate under production deadlines.

In addition, I have numerous freelance clients whom I engage with to develop logos, brand identity, brochures, website design and various marketing print pieces. I enjoy having the ability to continue participating with the dairy industry with my freelance projects. 

Well-versed in Adobe Creative Cloud, I excel at Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. With a keen eye for style and design, I have an easy-going manner which fosters effective communication making me a valued listener and team player.

In my free time

I was born and raised in Carroll County, MD on a dairy farm. I grew up showing dairy cattle in 4-H at local, state and national levels. Dairy showing has taken me to many different states and granted me opportunities that I will never forget.

At James Madison University I played on the JMU Club Lacrosse team. In 2013 we traveled to Colorado Springs, CO to compete in the WCLA Lacrosse Championship Tournament where we won the championship! Sports has always been a part of my life, playing or cheering on my favorite teams.

In my spare time you can find me at the beach soaking up sun, enjoying a spicy margarita and looking for the world’s best taco. Most recently I have started to venture into Floral Design. Learning the world of flowers and art of arrangements through professional development courses at Anne Arundel Community College.

I love to do all Marylander things- summer nights at Camden Yards, eating crabs, drinking a cold natty boh, cheering on the Ravens and attending Preakness in the spring! I also enjoy mastering the perfect burger recipe and cooking anything and everything on the grill. And yes, I put pineapple on my pizza. The best topping combination in my opinion is pineapple, jalapeno and italian sausage.
