About
Outside of Ursinus, I work as a free-lance photographer and graphic designer.
My Experience
Digital Spark 2020
The U-Imagine Center hosted an internship program that connects students with local small businesses, providing digital media services for 8-weeks during the summer. I worked with Visual Edge, an eyecare service, in Phoenixville, PA. Specifically, I worked to re-design their digital presence by updating their digital footprint. The biggest accomplishment achieved during the program was a complete redesign of their website. If you would like to learn more about what I did for Visual Edge, please check out my recap video here!
Life After Ursinus
Upon graduating, I plan on continuing my education in data analysis and data visualization. My dream job would be to work with a professional sports team, as a data analyst.
