This interactive narrative celebrates 100 years of

co-education at Marquette University. The piece puts users in the driver's seat and tells the story of what campus life was like for women throughout the decades.

iDeveloped, along with two other colleagues, a digital storytelling workshop for women in recovery to teach them the tools they needed to tell their own stories of recovery as they wanted them told. This project was accepted and presented at the Relato International Conference on Digital Storytelling held annually at the Universitat de València.

iManaged the marketing department for an adventure business, which included growing their social media profiles. We took the customer's favorite part of the experience and helped them share it with their friends, thus increasing our own reach. Using Fotaflo, zipline tour guides were equipped with a mobile camera that instantly uploaded group photos to our point-of-purchase system. The branded photos were immediately available for purchase and social sharing.

Using this system to help our customers do the talking, in conjunction with monthly and seasonal contests, we doubled our social media followers and exponentially increased engagement for our brand.

iDesign using the latest Adobe CS software. Some of the projects I have managed include:

• Billboards
• Magazine Advertisements
• Social Media Branding
• Prezi presentations
• Brochures
• Tradeshow Banners
• Rack Cards
• Event Invitations
• Newsletters
• Electronic Communications

And more!

iExecuted a transmedia component to Meta House's annual fundraising gala using video. Volunteers set up video booths at the Mother's Day-themed event where attendees could record a video card to their mothers and important women in their lives. Videos were edited and uploaded in real-time and a local corporation sponsored a $1 donation for every view the video received on YouTube.

Meta House saw an increase in channel views and video shares across Facebook and Twitter as well as media coverage of the campaign across local print, broadcast, and online media.
