experience
2012-2014, Creative Director - Affinity Group Management
(Affinity Marketing Communications division)
Started as a Graphic Designer and earned the position of Marketing Coordinator after six months. In two
years, I became the Creative Director over 20 different companies where I specialized in creating diverse and
unique marketing plans to fit their specific needs and better their business, including but not limited to print
design, advertising, social media creation and management, trade-show booths, digital design such as website
development and maintenance, e-mail campaigns, and video editing. I worked with clients and vendors on a daily
bases. I also managed projects of all incoming work and scheduling, including making quotes and estimates for
budget purposes. I created and set in place processes for day-to-day work, which made time management easier
for others and myself. This extremely fast pace environment set me up to be particularly good at assessing needs
and directing others to execution so that deadlines were always met. Being able to turn on a dime was my biggest
asset. Whether the goal was conference promotion or member generation, I handled projects from start to finish.
