JOB EXPERIENCE

COMMUNICATIONS & MARKETING

I’m a driven, thorough, curious and enterprising editor, designer and writer who enjoys providing entertaining and intriguing twists on the events I cover. I’m the consummate team player who will do whatever it takes to get the job done, thriving on delivering information quickly and accurately. My tenure at the Kentucky Kernel, the Jessamine Journal, and at IMG provided me invaluable experience in reporting, editing, designing, photographing and leadership. Since arriving at IMG College, I’ve honed my skills while increasing my knowledge of design, marketing and public relations so that I can pursue jobs related to those fields.
