Interests: Visual Communications & Public Outreach

Since graduating from the design program, I have utilizes my visual design skills to create and implement projects, improve government communications, and translate complex programs into clear visual presentations. I am passionate about connecting the community to local government through effective outreach and believe that communication and engagement are key pillars to building trust in an organization. 

Currently, in my seventh year of employment with Placer County, I manage the Document Solutions division of the County Executive Office. I lead a team of eight people to provide printing, graphic design, convenience copiers, records storage, interoffice mail, US mail, and shipping services for county departments and external organizations. 

As I promoted from graphic designer to supervisor and then manager roles at Placer County, I have influenced key decisions regarding business development, policy, budgeting, staffing, and production management. These adjustments have allowed us to improve customer service, reduce costs, and meet the needs of modern government. Looking ahead, I’m excited to continue to use my visual communications approach to bring innovative change to our organization.
