Services offered

Multifaceted professional seeking opportunities leveraging both administrative leadership and creative expertise, available nationwide for remote/hybrid work and in Charleston for on-site positions. Open to full-time, contract, and freelance opportunities, I bring operational excellence and creative capabilities developed across construction, filmmaking, education, nonprofit, and design sectors.

As Director of Finance and Administration at a PK-12 private school, I managed HR, payroll, and benefits while successfully rebuilding and managing the school's $40K web platform and LMS after key staff departure. This achievement exemplifies my ability to handle complex projects requiring both administrative oversight and technical implementation.

My web development portfolio includes successful projects for diverse clients, including e-commerce platforms, educational institutions, and small businesses. While many sites have evolved under new ownership, my work established strong foundations in responsive design, user experience, and brand identity development.

As founder of Quirky Pickle, I successfully manage creative production and business operations, demonstrating ability to excel in dual roles.

Having operated a construction company (1997-2024) while maintaining creative ventures, I bring proven success in project management, team leadership, and creative direction. I thrive in both agile and waterfall methodologies, ensuring excellence in administrative and creative deliverables. Currently serving as Treasurer on the Charleston County School of the Arts PTSA Board, I effectively balance analytical and creative responsibilities.

My Bachelor's degree from College of Charleston in Applied Communication, combined with extensive experience and continuous learning keeps me prepared for challenges. My leadership skills are reflected in a 3.925 GPA, earned scholarships, and membership in Phi Kappa Phi and Alpha Sigma Lambda Honor Societies. My blend of operational expertise and creative capabilities, coupled with strong communication skills and business acumen, makes me valuable in roles requiring both administrative leadership and creative direction.
