Visual Strategist

In May 2015, I received my B.A. in Visual Communication from Loyola University Chicago, and am currently working in Chicago as a visual strategist for a Marketing company.  My hometown is Manhattan Beach, California where I grew up surfing and playing volleyball. Volleyball has played a significant role in my life.  I played on two state championship teams during high school and played in the finals four different times at a national level.  I was recruited by Loyola University Chicago to play Division 1 volleyball.  Qualities that have contributed to my success as an athlete include being a hard worker, good under pressure, coachable, and a team player.  These traits have provided me a solid foundation for my professional aspirations.  I currently live in Chicago and, in my spare time, enjoy photography and screen-printing my own apparel.
