About me

I'm a full-time graphic designer and illustrator at Biomedical Communications, a department of the ETSU Quillen College of Medicine. I graduated from East Tennessee State University with a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Graphic Design, and am currently a Master's Candidate at the University of Tennessee, working on my MS in Digital and Strategic Communication.  

For as long as I can remember, I've loved design and illustration and have been interested in learning about new trends and developing my own unique style. As I progress in my career, I hope to always learn something new from each project that I'm a part of and to never turn down an opportunity to do good for the world around me. As I am influenced by my peers in my field, I strive to be an influence to others too!
