A Few Words About Me

I work at Shaw Industries as a Sr. Digital Specialist and have worked in various capacities since 2012. One of the major programs I work on is called Shaw Web Studio, which initially built websites for Residential Flooring Dealers, and now — with my help — has expanded to Shaw Internal sites and Commercial sites.

​

In an effort to diversify my skillset, I also volunteered to create videos for various Shaw groups, including the Concierge Group, Conexión, Floorigami, and Floorvana. You can find links to each project under Videos.

​

Feel free to read more about my experiences (and projects) with Shaw under the Marketing  tab. You can also see the technical experience I've gained over the years under Technology.

​

For the past two winters, I have written and directed Christmas plays at my home church. These plays are around an hour in length and feature the adults of our community, with a goal to both entertain and teach. Read more about these under Plays. I am proud of the work we've done so far and look forward to showcasing my fourth play this December.​

​

I am a 2012 graduate of Kennesaw State University, where I received a Bachelor of Science in Communication and a minor in Marketing. While there, I worked for four different publications —Talon Magazine, where I was Managing-Editor; the Sentinel, KSU’s newspaper;  Patch.com, a community-based news website; and the Daily Tribune News, a newspaper in Cartersville. I also edited student resumes as a Peer Advocate at KSU's Career Services. Discover more about my experience in this industry under Communication, or peruse past articles in my Blog.

​

For the past two years I have raised money for the St. Jude Children's Hospital, through an event called Marathon Weekend, where I ran the 10K and later the Half Marathon. You can read about my fundraising and race experiences for 2018 and 2019 on this site.
