I work with the marketing and communication team to effectively disseminate events, announcement, and miscellaneous items across campus via faculty requests. Through a streamline system of reviews and client communication, 5–15 rotating projects are designed, packaged, and exported within a set due date (varied by the scope of the project).

As part of Work/Study, I surveil and upkeep 2 intersecting design labs for student use from 5–10 p.m. By creating a clean and welcoming environment for students to work in, I assist them with any technical issues that they may have, ranging from packaging, printing, critique, friendly support, etc.
McNair Scholars Program
Research Intern (May 2022)
Columbia, MO

As a TRIO program that prepares underrepresented undergraduates for graduate school, I am tasked with conducting independent academic research under mentor guidance for 5-10 hours/week. My project investigates how emerging media, particularly NFTs, will affect the already competitive Graphic Design job market and connect the tokens functionality to its provenance to printmaking. Additionally, I attend weekly workshops and mentor meetings regarding project updates, graduate school preparation and career development.
