About
My background includes a Bachelor’s degree in English, experience designing newspapers, magazines and online materials. Working in newspapers has left me incredibly deadline-oriented with the ability to produce work efficiently (going slow isn't something that comes easy to me but I'm working on it). During my first week with the National Independent Automobile Dealers Association, I was tasked to create and execute a compelling concept for the first On The Block magazine that is now a bi-monthly publication.
