My background in graphic design and photography includes working at the Globe Gazette newspaper in Mason City, Iowa. While there, I went on photography assignments, also responsible for color correction of photos, photo illustrations, page layout and special section covers. I also had the opportunity to help create three different historical books of Mason City. I am knowledgeable in graphic design software such as Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, Adobe Illustrator, Quark Express, Excel and Microsoft Word. I am capable of multitasking and remaining detail oriented under pressure of deadlines.
Fluent in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and Quark Express. Being a photographer by nature gives me a very detailed eye and the news paper business enhanced my multi tasking skills, working independently.
