Welcome! I am currently working on curating a more cohesive and current representation of my work for this site.

After teaching elementary school for five years and completing my Master’s degree in Instructional Design & Technology, I made the transition from the classroom to the world of multimedia. For more than seven years, I held the positions of Webmaster and Video Producer (2008 – 2012) and Digital Media Communications Manager (2012 – 2015) at Trinity School, an independent school in Atlanta, GA. For five years, I served as Marketing & Media Specialist (2017-2019) and Public Relations Specialist (2019-2022) at Hollis Innovation Academy. I am currently enjoying expanding my portfolio as Web Developer in the Office of Communications (Human Resources) at Georgia Institute of Technology and working as an independent contractor.

Due to the updated Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), I have participated in multiple training sessions on web accessibility and have devoted an extensive amount of time to remediating websites and documents to ensure compliance with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) standards.
