Skills

I initially started my career in a local newspaper whereas I learned to create marketing campaigns. After two years I was promoted to Art Director. I later moved on to other occupations within the printing industry. I have designed packaging, created marketing campaigns, and learned the ins and outs of prepress. As the job market became scarce for designers, I decided to go to school for Psychology and Medical Assisting. During this phase of my life , I learned how to reinvent myself as a professional: I learned to write and became a journalist for Yahoo, I worked two years in a mental health facility, and I learned to create presentations and speak to a large audience. I am exploring opportunities in the field whereas my work ethic, creativity, and communications experience would best be utilized.
