I was born and raised in Flagstaff, Arizona. After graduating from high school I moved to Naperville, Illinios to receive my Bachelors in Graphic Design and Psychology. During my time at school I was an intern for 4 businesses including 2 non-profits. I interned in graphics, marketing, event sales and communications. After graduating I worked a temp job with a trade show company designing and fixing art for conference booths. After that I worked at the American Nuclear Society as the Program Layout and Design Coordinator. In that role I worked to design prospectuses, programs and marketing materials for the multiple conferences. I coordinated with the Event Coordinators and Printing Department to get each project done in a timely manner.
