Marketing Communications Manager

Jan 2012 - Present
Working for the Heritage Christian Education Society at HCA, I have developed an aptitude and flexibility within a wide-range of skills and tasks. These include: developing strategic plans for communications, crisis and media relations, marketing, ad buying, social media and website, video recording and editing, and graphic design. My role has also involved the implementation of fundraising and community engagement events such as the annual back2school celebration, student & parent 'hangouts', annual HCA fundraising Gala, alumni weekends, and open houses. I appreciate opportunities for continuing education and enjoy being part of a work environment that is supportive, stimulating and encourages personal growth. The fact that I get to combine my enthusiasm for creativity, relationships, faith, and personal growth in one position provides a great sense of contentment and purpose.

Aug 2005 - Jan 2009
I was hired as a graphic designer for in house projects and as the workload increased, the position quickly evolved to become one of project management. This included scheduling projects and consulting with vendors/printers for scheduling and cost. I also contracted and managed a small team of designers and continued to produce creative design when time allowed.

I continue to be grateful for the opportunities and challenges this employer provided. I worked on the creative aspect of a number of published books including cover design, bookstore point of purchase displays, magazine ads and packaging. I was also a key player in the layout and formatting of seasonal catalogues used to promote and sell published books and resources.

My starting point in the world of print and design. A wealth of hands on experience and instruction was gained at Country Graphics. From page layout consisting of wax adhesive and grid pages into computer design, to dark room camera film, ruby tape and plate making, i have a strong foundation in the printing process from before the time of direct to plate and digital printing... invaluable knowledge in my opinion!
