My work also consists of assisting the office with graphic design, web design, event planning, and community outreach projects for Flashes Strong and other various programs associated with the UOE office.
Experience:
I earned my B.S. in advertising from Kent State in Spring 2022, and I'm currently earning my M.S. in emerging media and technology as I complete my graduate assistantship until Summer 2023. I started as the communications and content creation assistant at the office during my undergrad until I accepted the position as staff designer for Summer 2022, which led me to my current GA position.
