I earned a Bachelors of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) degree in Graphic Design from Middle Tennessee State University and started my career at a modest advertising agency on Nashville's Music Row. After a couple of stints in my native Tennessee, my professional journey shifted south to Atlanta. It's here that I gained extensive experience in marketing and advertising across various company sizes and both B2B (business-to-business) and B2C (business-to-consumer) settings. Apart from some early agency work, I have focused on in-house roles within larger companies and major corporations.
My commitment to learning extends beyond my degree. I've explored photography (my college minor), video production, and web design. I completed a 13-week course at Georgia Institute of Technology, earning a Certificate in Professional Website Design, for the latter. Most recently, I obtained Inbound and Digital Marketing Certifications from HubSpot Academy, enhancing my digital skills for trade show promotion and lead generation.
I'm a firm believer in lifelong learning!
