For over 10 years I have worked in digital systems as a project manager and designer. I am a part of the process from branding, to marketing strategy, creation of products from scratch, integration and training, to management of new products created in-house and management of third party systems. I am also fluent in social media, website analytics reporting, and digital services inventory reporting.

I am a website and graphic design professional with demonstrated experience as a Project Management Specialist. I am skilled in website design & development, Search Engine Optimization (SEO), graphics, and UI/UX. I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) in Visual Communications from Northern Illinois University.

Starting with a focus in print design over 16 years ago and customer service over 20 years ago, I have transitioned those skills into management, website design and development, digital design, and user experience. My passion is creative thinking. Going to work and loving what you do everyday is the greatest gift. 

In my free time I serve on the Board of Directors for the Rochelle Area Community Foundation assisting local non-profits. I am on the Grants Committee and Chair of the Marketing Committee. Otherwise, you can find me outside or playing volleyball!
