EXPERIENCES
CHERRY HILLS CHURCH
Within this summer internship, I was responsible for content creation of CHCC’s 3 social media accounts. Because of my role, I got to take pictures, create promotions for events, and shot videos. Professionally, I collaborated with a creative team while working independently, maintaining the integrity and values of this non-profit organization.
COLORADO
During my off time, I explored all that Colorado has to offer. This beautiful landscape is only enhanced by the different weather which it recieves.
STUDY ABROAD
In addition to my semester in Italy, I spent time travelling to other European countries. In the midst of my visits, I savored each experience by capturing unique things, whether it be obvious or hidden. During this experience, I learned to appreciate different aspects of places, such as how the light can hit the door or a ship gently blowing ontop of the water.
Cornerstone Church
Within this year internship, my role spanned multifaceted areas, as I supported different groups for photography and graphic design. Serving as the only multidisciplinary designer on the team, my focuses constantly shifted from individual to group shots of experiences and events of a church with over 3000 regular attendees.
Across multiple departments, I work on projects across many different departments. While my main role is photography, with my support skills I create sermon series graphics for large gatherings, publication handout resouces, and weekly website updates.
Pine Lake Fellowship Camp

CLASSROOM
REBOUND
This project was all about how to make alcoholic abuse recovery as accessible as possible for people, especially individuals who struggle with addiction and reject “regular” prevention methods. As a solution, I created a new brand identity which maintains the integrity of the user and can be applied in various deliverables.
PERSONAL BRANDING

POSTER
