Hello, and thank you for visiting my personal website.   My goals are to fully utilize my experience and education in a forward-moving company within the graphic communications industry.   I enjoy being encouraged to learn and adapt to new and exciting challenges within the industry and am eager for growth opportunities.

I am a proud graduate of the Graphic Communications Management program from Ryerson University (2005.)  I achieved a Bachelor of Technology degree, complete with a minor in Marketing. Courses attended: marketing, human resources and business communications courses, psychology and sociology electives, as well as Mandarin I and Mandarin II in addition to the required GCM core courses.

I am formally trained in both Windows and Macintosh operating platforms, can perform numerous tasks in printing industry specific programs such as Quark, Adobe Suite and Macromedia; in addition to being experienced in imposition, pre-flighting and estimating software.  I also understand the concepts and theories behind estimating, selling and marketing in the graphic arts.

I am confident in my written and oral communications, proficient with the internet and electronic mail and can effectively multi-task. I am experienced in the Microsoft Office Suite, and am able to type 90 w.p.m. with accuracy. I am a fast learner and creative thinker with a great attention to detail. I enjoy working in fast paced environments and stressful situations in a team environment, thriving in challenging situations.

My experience in the graphic communications and print industry is varied between a wide range of display mediums and provided practical practice to skills and theories learned during GCM at Ryerson.
