QUALIFICATIONS
With a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from the University of Michigan and over a decade of direct experience in a several fields, I have collected the tools to fully immerse myself in the visual communications leadership process, not only with confidence, but energy and passion. My leadership role as a technical training project manager at Paper Converting Machine Company has taught me how to effectively develop aesthetically engaging curriculum for adult learners. The extremely fast-paced TV news world at WBAY-TV2 ABC has allowed me to demonstrate my leadership by helping colleagues meet deadlines and exceed expectations. My ability to multitask has been proven by my experience teaching multiple college courses at Northeast Wisconsin Technical College in multimedia and graphic communications.
