I harness creative strategies and word-of-mouth marketing to get powerful results.

Publication

My article in the American Journal of Arts Management (Volume 2, Issue 2, 2014) examines the relationship between the commitment of the entire staff to an organization’s marketing efforts and the effectiveness of word-of-mouth marketing.

Certification

I earned a certificate with distinction from Bring Your Own Laptop's Canva Design Essentials Course. The distinction project was to create "the visual identity for a fictional music festival, focusing on a specific genre or theme of your choice (e.g., indie rock, electronic, jazz, or folk). The goal is to develop a cohesive brand look that will attract festival-goers, sponsors, and performers alike." My friend suggested "pop punk" as a genre.
