About 

I received my Bachelor's in Fine Arts degree in Graphic Design from Montserrat College of Art in Beverly, MA. Since graduating, I have worked as a Marketing Professional within the Boston area for numerous organizations in the technology sector. Key responsibilities include tech stack administration, demand generation, database management, sales enablement, business analytics, and more.

Design positions include agency and professional organization experience. Trade show banners, event posters, brochures, online ads, magazine articles, logo designs, email and web page design, are some examples of past work.  

Along with my design work, I am also a freelance portrait and landscape photographer.  My photography work has been showcased in publications and exhibitions including Montserrat's ArtRageous! Art Auction (Artist Exhibition), Fotoblur Magazine (Print Publication), The Harvard Business School Association of Boston (Alumni Website), and featured as the main background images of Marketo's marketing automation platform.  

When I'm not focusing on work, I enjoy traveling to new places and spending quality time with my family.
