Hey, thanks for stopping by!

 

I appreciate your visit to my site.

​

It didn't take long to realize how much I enjoy capturing important moments in time with a camera and a smile. As an artist and designer, I have found myself constantly wanting to explore new places around me as well as taking photos of people and places that really are worth a thousand words.

​

I offer professional portraiture services that include but are not limited to:

  • Casual Occasions

  • Professional Business Headshots

  • Celebrations & Life Moments

​

Please feel free to reach out to me with any other questions on what services I am able to provide.

Career

  • Graphic Design & Creative Management

  • Photography

  • Tourism & Hospitality Industry

​

I worked in the tourism and hospitality industry at Valley Forge Tourism & Convention Board (VFTCB) from March 2017 to August 2021 and started as a graphic designer. I started as an intern and finished my time with the Board as a Creative Manager.


My role at the Tourism Board involved with hundreds of tourism related projects. I spent time working with a creative team of individuals to strategize marketing campaigns and events. Some specific project examples:

​

  • Managed the visual consistency of brand-initiatives within the company's portfolio

  • Spearheaded the layout and design of numerous annual publications

  • Crafted a logo design and identity for Montco Makers, an initiative designed to promote Montgomery County, PA's breweries, distilleries, and wineries

  • Created Event logos, identities, digital and printed visuals for event attendees

  • Photographed runners at Rev Run, a 5-K run and walk hosted at Valley Forge National Historical Park


My experience in the creative field goes beyond designing. Team management, Photography, and Digital Art are also skillsets I have aggressively developed. I've photographed company events as well as developing the creative direction of numerous large scale VFTCB projects including the original 2020 redesign of the Valley Forge & Montgomery County, PA Wall Graphics inside Valley Forge National Historical Park's Visitor Center.

​

I have continued my professional career in Marketing and Graphic Design at the Lancaster Chamber as a Marketing and Communications Specialist. My role at the Chamber involves photographing many of the Chamber's networking and business events. Some of those events include:

  • Discovering Paths Mentoring Program: A program built for High School students to explore countless different careers though professional mentorship, educational site visits, and volunteering.

  • Professional Women's Forum: An annual event that connects women in the workplace to an all day event featuring various speakers, courses, professional development, and networking opportunities.

  • Various Industry Tours: a unique opportunity to learn more about the inner workings of the host business, including requirements to serve the industry.

  • Mixers: Open Networking Opportunities for Business Professionals
