My life’s journey is to inspire and be inspired, to be happy, positive, patient and compassionate. To remain a free-spirit who is uninhibited by restraints, while keeping an open-mind to new thoughts and ideas around me in order to give hope and inspiration to others in need. I am a free-spirit, animal activist, designer, educator, inspirational seeker, happy go lucky, Leo, Yogi and positive energetic girl who lives in Pittsburgh.
With over twenty-three years in the design industry, I have worked for various advertising agencies and publication companies throughout Pennsylvania, Ohio and Florida. I earned my Master of Arts, Graphic Design degree from Savannah College of Art and Design in August 2012. I also taught design classes in higher education for two years at Southwest Florida College in Tampa where I was proactive with developing the courses that I instructed.
I also worked as a Faculty Advisor and teaching online graphic design classes at Independence University for nine years and Miami International University of Art and Design remotely for two years. I am currently an online graphic design adjunct instructor at Southern New Hampshire University for the past eight years. I am also currently teaching design classes remotely for Rasmussen University, Bryan University, University of Florida and Baton Rouge Community College.
My husband and I started two contracting businesses in March 2023, where we are co-owners. In these two businesses, I create marketing materials for print, web and social media promotional advertisements, design brand identity pieces, identifies opportunities in the market, handles business financials, social media analytics and directs and implements marketing efforts as well as creates detailed business plans.
