I have currently built over 10 client websites, maintained on a weekly basis, nine additional websites. I also have experience integrating social media into existing websites. I have gained valuable knowledge on how to design effective e-sales campaigns, on-line monthly newsletters, printed marketing items and have helped organize a company trade-show. I have the skills to meet deadlines, multitask, communicate with customers, problem-solve and give valuable input when needed.

I graduated from the Digital Media Arts program at Seneca College with a 3.5/4 GPA. There I learned to apply my creative and artistic skills towards practical purposes such as graphic design, content creation for print, the web, along with gaining knowledge of the major industry software programs.

With my knowledge and experience of the web/graphic design, marketing, education, computer programs, and my ability to easily interact with others, I would be a valuable addition to any team.
