EXPERIENCE
Head Dog Trainer & Sales Rep
2021- Current: This job has helped me develop and implement creative ways to build training programs for various dog breeds and handlers, and to conduct canine behavior assessments to identify training needs and tailor effective strategies.
I have had the opportunity to lead group training sessions, fostering a supportive environment for both dogs and their owners. I have built strong relationships with clients to enhance customer retention and satisfaction, and have created tailored sales presentations addressing client needs and increasing engagement.
Assistant Graphic Designer
2017-2019: Sign it Now is a print shop located in Victor, Idaho, where I had the privilege to work. In the shop, I was introduced to the process of doing vehicle wraps, custom vinyl stickers, Stationary, large billboards, large metal signs, and trophy or plaque design.
The shop was always full of fun new projects and new ideas to make other companies' products more visible. Still to this day, my favorite design work was doing the State Police vehicle wraps.
Creative Lead
2021-2024: At Blue Raven Solar, I was first hired as a basic graphic designer but was later promoted to Creative Lead. With the job promotion came the responsibilities to develop my photography and videography skills as well. The basics of designing social media, advertising, and enhancing brand visibility were still my bread and butter.
Activities Graphic Designer
2016-2018: At Weber State University, I took on a full-time job as the campus activities designer. We did various posters, primarily that informed the campus students of different events. We helped almost every club schedule, book, and market their events, including a James Bond night, a Casino night, the Winter Ball, and much more.
Head Designer
2018-2021: Working for Weber State University's print shop was a blast! We got to assist with many different facets of the college's designs. I was even allowed to design the Commencement program for the entire college. In the shop, we did everything from screen printing to vinyl as well as laser engraving. I tell every graphic designer that the best place to learn if you are a good designer is in a print shop.
Photography Editor & Intern
2013: In the summer of 2013, I took on a 3-month intership with Baron Photography in Shelley, Idaho. During this time, I was asked to help edit photos that Sherri, the owner, had taken.
I learned the ins and outs of Photoshop as well as how to design wedding, graduation, and family announcements. This kick-started my excitement and desire to become a professional graphic designer.

I obtained my MPC with an emphasis in leadership. I have used these skills every day of my life since finishing. I enjoy seeing how others lead and either adopting or rejecting their approach.
