## About Me

I am a creative project manager with over 8 years of experience leading design and marketing initiatives from concept to delivery. I excel at bringing structure to creative work, collaborating across teams, and managing multiple moving parts with clarity and humor. My passion lies in working with purpose-driven brands that combine creativity, community, and real-world impact.

Currently, I serve as a Creative Project Manager and Brand Consultant at RFG Designs, where I manage end-to-end creative projects for diverse clients. I bridge design vision with strategy and delivery across digital, print, and motion projects. I coordinate creative schedules, asset workflows, and approvals to ensure timely and on-brand execution.

In addition, I work remotely as the Creative & Communications Project Lead for the Colorado Assisted Living Association (CALA). In this role, I manage creative operations for statewide events and campaigns, coordinating timelines, deliverables, and stakeholder communication. I build processes that align communications and creative resources, reducing turnaround times and improving quality control.

I also contribute as a Student Services Secretary & McKinney-Vento Liaison at Rocky Mountain High School, where I plan and coordinate multi-step communications and resource programs serving over 60 students. I develop tracking systems to improve efficiency and ensure compliance with reporting and scheduling deadlines.

My educational background includes a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design with a minor in Spanish from Colorado State University, including a year of Spanish immersion study abroad in Costa Rica. I am proficient in tools such as Adobe Creative Suite, Monday.com, Google Workspace, and Figma, which support my ability to streamline project tracking and creative workflows.

I am committed to fostering collaboration between designers, writers, and marketing teams to maintain alignment across multiple concurrent projects. My approach emphasizes clear communication, organized workflows, and delivering high-quality creative production that supports brand storytelling and marketing goals.

I look forward to continuing to contribute my skills in creative workflow management, project coordination, and brand storytelling to innovative and impactful projects.
