Jan 2022 - Present (2 years 10 months)
I work with Adobe CS to update and create marketing materials for the School of Graduate Studies and Continuing Education. My job has expanded my reach into marketing duties as well, and I am becoming familiar with marketing campaigns, Google Analytics, using Hootsuite for Social Media and SendGrid for email campaigns as well as collecting data on how our different marketing elements perform. I do 100% of our print and graphic design elements while assisting on photography and copyediting. I hace expanded to directing and shooting video, editing video, and managing video projects for different applications and social media. I create augmented reality programmed snapchat filters for our camps programs each Spring.
