After earning a Bachelor of Arts, cum laude, in fine arts and 15 years of working in the fields of graphic design, advertising, and marketing I felt a call and decided to take a leap of faith into a vastly different art—nursing. A former advertising colleague once referred to me as, “delightfully hostile.” This can be attributed to my unparalleled affinity for hard work, fiery motivation, and passionate opinions. I am sure if you were to ask my nursing colleagues, they would say all of that still rings true. My strong will, drive, determination, initiative, and commitment not only set me apart, but they help to encourage and positively impact others around me so that any team I am a part of remains strong, goal-oriented, and focused.
Even though I have closed one chapter––albeit one covering a wide range experience in design settings such as, in-house, freelance, non-profit, contract and full service design––you can still find a small collection of various projects and artistic endeavors that I have had the pleasure to be a part of; unfortunately, I have not yet figured out how to share my delicious smoked Gouda cheese grits or hot fudge pie via the interweebs.
