About Me

While working on my degree in Communications, I discovered my love for event planning, promotions, and my desire to start working in the field of PR. These passions have lead me to a few job opportunities including managing social media for a small Seattle-based clothing business (Kris&Kate), co-writing the student e-newsletter for campus events and activities for Seattle Pacific University, and acting as a part-time Promotions Event staff member at Sinclair Broadcast Group. These three jobs have helped me to develop my skills in writing, communicating, customer service, and promotions. I have learned the importance of giving my all to help my community - whether that be SPU or the greater Seattle area.

Another passion of mine and a skill that I have been developing at SPU is art - specifically in the form of digital art and photography. While a Communications major, I am also an Art: Digital New Media minor. This minor has allowed me to develop skills in a variety of different Adobe programs such as InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Lightroom, Premier, and more. To my pleasure, the skills developed in these classes have also helped me in my job at SPU by giving me the tools and knowledge necessary to improve the campus e-newsletter and to write/design different documents such as the 2016-2017 SPU Orientation Handbook. Thanks to my art minor, I have developed my love and skill for photography, design, and even have learned the basics of web design, HTML, and CSS.
