About

With a diverse background in graphic design and administration, I have honed my skills across various industries. I began my career as an Accounting/HR Assistant at Goodwill Industries of Monocacy Valley, where I managed payroll and employee records. Transitioning to Vivint Solar, I coordinated permit processes and supported account management. My administrative expertise expanded at Phoenix Preschool of NJ, where I managed front office operations and financial tasks. As a Freelance Graphic Designer, I have consulted with clients to deliver tailored design solutions, managed social media content, and created digital and print materials. I also run a successful Etsy shop, designing and selling printable templates, leveraging marketing strategies to enhance visibility. My educational foundation from Gwynn Park High School complements my professional journey, enabling me to adapt and thrive in dynamic environments.
