I created this web page and registration form to market a fundraising event to raise money for the renovation of the football stadium at Anderson University. I created many such pages in my time at AU. 

I produced a monthly newsletter at AU that included links to blog articles, videos and other information interesting to alumni. The images in these newsletters were all edited by me and the featured articles were often a collaboration between myself and my boss. Obviously, the PDF version isn't as smooth as the email version was, but it gives you an idea of the kind of work I am capable of doing.

Anderson University Homecoming & Family Weekend was a huge part of my role at AU. I managed various projects for four months leading up to the event and the weekend of the event itself, I oversaw a fifty year reunion, a large alumni reception, aspects of the street fair, an awards reception, and several smaller gatherings around campus that required light catering. I also worked with vendors to create the street fair experience. This newsletter has highlights of the events I managed.

Two thirds of this video was created by the videographer that we hired for Homecoming. The final minute was created by me, using his videos and some images he didn't have access to. I edited the music to loop it, added the still shots, and created the final few frames that featured the ferris wheel drone footage.

I was in the process of overseeing the re-launch of the Echoes podcast. I was overseeing a student and helping her learn how to edit the audio and was guiding her creative work with the images for the podcast using Canva.

In my role as Project and Communications Manager, my boss would give me videos-mostly created on his cell phone, and ask me to clean them up and edit them to post on social media. This is one of those posts. I did a LOT of work with images in this role as well, but mostly for email campaigns to market the various events we hosted. My social media work was often overseeing one of our student assistants and guiding him if he had questions. I was the only one, however, that created the Youtube videos for the Alumni office in my time there. And though the youtube channel was not my focus at all, we grew our views in the year I was there, from roughly 1000 views in 2023, to 5000 views in 2024.

I have a special place in my heart for adoptive families raising children with difficult behaviors because we adopted two older children from foster care. I have created a lot of social media posts about adoption as a result. Because these are my posts, and are not being created for an organizaion, I am able to be more creative with them. Here is one example.

I love to travel and enjoy sharing tips and insights that can make traveling smoother and more enjoyable for adoptive families. This post highlights some helpful discoveries from a Carnival cruise I recently took—practical advice to help families with special needs kids travel smarter.
