I’m very detail-oriented and have ensured that all designs and copy follow brand guidelines for several businesses and organizations. I’ve created brand guidelines for my own projects and ensure all material follows guidelines.
Photography & Photo Editing

Data Analysis & Management
I’ve collected data using surveys, assessments, Google Analytics, and research, and have tracked data using Excel and Sheets. I’ve also analyzed data to determine next steps and have created reports and plans based on data. I’ve managed large numbers of files and have worked with my team to keep all files uniformly labeled, stored in the shared drive, and submitted on time.
Public Relations
I’ve written press releases, staffed booths, planned community events, and spoken at donor events. I’ve represented organizations in the media, including TV, radio, and the newspaper. I’ve also tracked public perception and media coverage by setting up Google Alerts for key terms, analyzing the coverage, and linking and summarizing the coverage in a monthly Excel report.
Project Management
I’ve managed many projects – both independent projects and team projects. I’ve used shared drives to manage files and track progress on project assignments. I’ve worked with and followed up with my team to make sure we all met the deadlines we had developed together.
Writing
I’ve written dozens of articles for websites, magazines, blogs, and newspapers. I’ve covered a variety of topics, such as drug abuse prevention, etiquette, cyber safety, music, fashion, business and organization accomplishments, and events.

Programs & Tools
Photoshop: I’ve used Photoshop to do basic photo editing, such as removing unwanted items from pictures and combining multiple pictures into one. I’ve also used Gimp (an open source alternative) for companies without access to Photoshop.
InDesign: I’ve used InDesign to create layouts, such as brochures, posters, and books. I’ve also used PowerPoint to create materials for companies without access to InDesign.
Illustrator: I’ve used Illustrator to do digital art which I then sell on platforms such as Redbubble and Society6. I also use it to create items I need for posters and other materials. I’ve also used Procreate (an inexpensive alternative) to do digital art when I don’t have access to Illustrator.
WordPress: I’ve built multiple sites on WordPress, including my portfolio. My favorite website builder plugin is Elementor and my favorite visual plugin is Visual Portfolio. I’ve also updated information on existing WordPress websites for several companies and organizations.
Wix: I’ve built several sites on Wix and have set up and managed ecommerce on Wix.
Google Sites: I’ve used Google Sites to create resource websites for my students.
PowerPoint: I’ve created templates for organization use.
Word: I’ve created templates for organization use.
Excel: I’ve tracked data and run reports on that data using Excel tools.
I’ve used Google applications extensively in my professional, academic, and personal lives. In my role as Operations Manager, I suggested using Google Drive to manage our files. Our old system involved each person emailing their work to their assigned copy editor and then emailing the edited copy to the Editor-in-Chief. Google Drive allowed all team members to have easy access to files, improved our team communication, and helped us complete our work more efficiently.
These are a few of the programs and tools I've used in my career. I'm a fast and resourceful learner and pick up new programs quickly.
