Hi, I am a recent graduate of Hobart and William Smith Colleges, where I majored in Writing and Rhetoric and minored in Media and Society, Studio Arts, and Classical Studies. I am looking for a career opportunity in which I can use my writing and analytical skills, as well as my creative side. I love conducting research and writing about topics that are new and interesting to me. I also love learning new skills, tools, and techniques that allow me to visually represent ideas. I have strong Adobe Photoshop and InDesign skills, built over the past four years of coursework. This portfolio features my writing, photography/digital art, and ads I have created for an advertising class.
