Legacy Oaks Assisted Living

• Memory Care Coordinator

  • Nov 2016 - Jun 2017

  As Memory Care Coordinator it was my privilege to meaningfully engage residents who had dementia by leading group activities and directing community art projects to promote feelings of pride and accomplishment. I connected to each resident and their family members on a personal level, and leaving them when I moved out of state was among the most difficult transitions I've made.

Austin Visuals 3D Animation Studio

• United States
• Movies, Videos, and Sound

• 3D Artist

  • Jun 2014 - Dec 2015

  I served as Modeling Lead creating characters and environments on a wide variety of projects, including (but not limited to) commercials and ads, architectural renderings, and forensic reconstruction. The wonderful thing about working at a smaller studio is being afforded opportunities to expand my reach and skill set. Even though I specialized in modeling, I was able to try my hand at all aspects of the production pipeline--from conceptualization, to rigging, to animating, to lighting/rendering. Show less



Linehop

• United States
• Food and Beverage Services

• Media Specialist

  • Jun 2012 - Mar 2013

  I was brought in to create a 2-minute promotional animation to accompany their initial app launch. I love working with start-ups, and here's why: Not only are the entrepreneurs running the show an inspiration and pleasure to work with, but the job descriptions are not limiting, and they're not necessarily linear. Even though I came in to assist with animation, my role morphed to include branding development, as well. I know myself well enough to know that if I can provide input and value in multiple areas, the happier and more motivated I am. Show less



C. Grant & Company

• United States
• Advertising Services
• 1 - 100 Employee

• Marketing Intern

  • Sep 2011 - Dec 2011

  I soaked up so much value from these few months, it's crazy. As an art major I wanted to expand my reach a bit, so I took a gamble on marketing. And BOY am I glad I did. I learned how to think from different perspectives, get in the customer's head, develop and implement strategies, and interface with clients. It was also my first real-world experience with truly effective team collaboration, which was incredibly valuable not only for the company and the client(s), but for me personally, as it reinforced that I'm most effective and energized in a collaborative environment.
