Here’s a bit about me. First, I’m a Seattleite who was born in Rhode Island. The vast majority of my life has been in the greater Seattle area, and I have a rich family history in Washington.
Work-wise, I’m currently divided between Communications and IT. I’ve done a lot of comms work for a wide variety of orgs, from the Fortune 100 & 500, to SMBs and non-profits. In those roles, I’ve written & edited copy, taken part in sensitivity reviews, served as the key contact with major external stakeholders, created hard-copy marketing materials (everything from postcards to billboards) as well as digital advertising assets (for Google and Facebook ads, as well as online website specific advertisements). I’ve also created marketing campaigns which include CRM components as well as campaign assets. Check out more about my communications background here.
As a tech-savvy person, I’ve stumbled into IT. Currently, I get to spend time on desktop support and network admin. My main tech stack is Microsoft (Microsoft 365, Azure, Entra, etc), though I also work with Google Workspace. In addition, I studied CISCO Networking, desktop support, database administration and design, and some other stuff. I’m also responsible for AV systems (soundboards, video, YouTube and Zoom streams).
Another area of focus is web systems, mostly WordPress, Wix, and Squarespace support, though I’m able to create and edit classic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript built sites. During the pandemic, I earned an associate’s degree in web application and cloud development from Edmonds College. So I have a solid understanding of web development and the classic web dev stack (HTML, CSS, JavaScript). I also have managed social media campaigns, including tools like Google and Meta business accounts.
Back in late elementary school and junior high, I developed an interest in photography. I took classes all through high school. Also, in junior high, I developed an interest in writing. I have worked hard on building those skills and expanding them. This included taking as many writing classes and design classes as I could. These are key parts of my life’s joy.
Various additional details:
- I love geeky things and geek culture, including comics, scifi, anime, and fantasy.
- I also love writing haiku and taking photographs as creative outlets. You can view that work here.
