A small-town girl from Montana,
I ventured to Oklahoma with dreams of being Broadway's next big thing at Oklahoma City University.
After deciding that the "starving artist" lifestyle just wasn't for me,
I earned a Bachelor's degree in Journalism from the University of Oklahoma. I studied Advertising at the Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communications, and exchanged dreams of stardom for dreams of steady employment and low-deductible health insurance.
Some of the skills I've picked up along the way are:
Adobe InDesign
Adobe Illustrator
Adobe Photoshop
Adobe Acrobat
Adobe After Effects
Adobe Premiere Pro
Microsoft Word
Microsoft Excel
Microsoft PowerPoint
Microsoft SharePoint
Microsoft Outlook
Canva
Figma
Animato
Sketch
SketchUp Pro
Storyline
Rise
Vimeo
AP Style
and, yes, I can still hit a high C.

During my last year at OU,
I was hired on as a Web Designer/Developer Intern for the Sam Noble Museum of Natural History, which turned into a full-time job after my graduation.
I designed, wire-framed, and then built the website for the museum, working closely with exhibit curators, public relations specialists, administrators, events coordinators, and our information technology team to ensure the user experience was fully evolved.
After my time a the museum was over, I was hired as a Publication Design Manager at SONIC Drive-In, and I have been there since.
During my fourteen-year tenure, I have worked on designing logos, icons, infographics, and branded templates for PowerPoint and Word. I design and bring to life training materials, manuals, videos, and job aids, coordinating the whole process from conception to completion, ensuring high-quality deliverables on time and under budget. I develop - and maintain - beneficial working relationships with third-party vendors to produce excellent products every time.
Recently, I have gotten to re-explore the world of UI, designing and rebuilding the homepage of our internal learning management system, TOT Zone. I am currently working on assisting Inspire Brands in the overhaul, update and maintenance of our franchise-facing SharePoint site, PartnerNet.
