I have a wide variety of passions and interests, but if I had to give myself a title it would probably be Communications Artist. Since childhood, I have had a passion for stories both written and visual. This passion led me to pursue a career in the communication field.
My corporate experience has been a combination of various different fields: Graphic Design, Marketing, Web Design, Public Relations and Advertising. I am a strong strategic thinker who can work independently or collaboratively. I am a fast learner, so I usually can hit the ground running when in new environments.
As a professor at Collin College, I have the amazing opportunity to share my experience, knowledge and passion to aspiring graphic designers. I enjoy helping them develop the skills they need to succeed in their education and careers.
