My career began 17 years ago, transitioning from the agency world of advertising into higher education marketing. I currently focus on visual-design strategy and brand implementation for Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, FL. Before moving to sunny Florida, I worked in the northwest at Washington State University, but my roots are in south Mississippi where I earned a B.F.A. in Graphic Communication from the University of Southern Miss.
