About Me
I began my career in the Army National Guard, where I learned the value of discipline, teamwork, and adaptability. After my service, I pursued my passion for creativity and art at Columbia College Chicago, earning a degree in Graphic Design with an emphasis in Web Design. Since graduating in 2018, I’ve built my career in design consulting, helping organizations solve problems and communicate with clarity through design.
Today, I’m part of Accenture Federal Services, where I’ve designing solutions for federal clients. Outside of work, I serve as the Lead Creative Producer for Raydiant Awards, a nonprofit that celebrates community leaders. In this role, I help plan the annual award show and oversee all aspects of production to bring the organization’s mission to life.
