With over 15 years of experience in nonprofits, I have held roles on diverse accounting staffs, financial committees, internal audit teams, communications teams, website management groups, and graphic design development teams. This well-rounded skill set utilizes me as a dynamic team player.
I am the sole proprietor of Frontier Fortitude, a creative business that offers graphic design, content management, transcription, archival and photo services. Founded in 2011 this business has taken shape to serve the client in creative ways to express their brand's vision.
I graduated from Penn State with a BA in Digital Journalism & Media. I am looking forward to the next step in earning a master's in financial communications and business in the coming years.
With my skill set: accounting, photography, design, content creation, and nonprofit management, I have found that media is key to relaying visual information to be used in marketing, budgeting, and effective communication for a company. Continued growth and use in innovative communication techniques allows a pivotal team player to produce the best product.
Life itself is a "frontier" like no other. It is beautiful. Through creative content, photography, and social media communication is crucial for me to interact with the world around me and forge connections that are lasting and vital to humanity.
