Digital Project Manager & Marketing Specialist

Detroit, MI


It’s me!
I did not start in web design, but it has been a longtime passion. I started dabbling in web design and publication design for various non-profit organizations to help build brand awareness through marketing collateral, logo design, and digital advertising.
My experience in health care has taught me the importance of offering excellent customer service to my clients as well as my fellow employees, as it is critical to success in any field.
