About

I am an upbeat people person driven to learn new skills and enhance those I currently posses. Being pushed outside of my comfort zone brings out the best in my abilities as I view challenges as opportunities. With a background in graphic design I love to think creatively and practically. Collaborating as a team is my favorite type of environment because I am able to work with a diverse group of people, learn from others, and yet every member has a key responsibility to fulfill their individual tasks so that together we are able to succeed.
