EXPERIENCE
As the Graphic & Web Designer for the Sisters of St. Mary of Oregon Foundation, I worked closely with the Director of Marketing & Communications to create marketing collateral, as well as maintain effective communications throughout the campus. These productions and communication efforts were completed in a timely manner with the use of a detailed production calendar, which I created. As Art Director for Staples Promotional Products (an advertising agency under the umbrella of Staples, Inc.), I assisted in the development of marketing plans for companies of all sizes, from small businesses to Fortune 500 companies. In both positions, strict timelines were adhered to so that the maximum level of effectiveness in marketing could be achieved. Also, in both positions, I worked both individually and in a team, so that the client could benefit both from my years of experience, as well as the years of experience of all the marketing team members.
